The La Roque Base Ball Club, also known as the Red Sox, was an amateur Little Rock, AR baseball team that competed in the 1875 Foul Flag Association. The team's name came from player C.A. La Roque, presumably the captain of the club.
History
The La Roques Base Ball Club was formed about July, 1875. The team soon began practicing but refused to play practice games, much to the curiosity of Little Rockians. On August 26th, the La Roques made their first appearance in a game against the Riversides of Memphis. It seems however that the team's reluctance to practice against other clubs may have doomed them, losing to the Riversides.
In September, the La Roques joined the Foul Flag Association. Again though, the team failed to impress. In 6 games, the La Roques one only once, and finishing last in the five team association.
