* From 1888 until 1903 there was no Chairman of the Section. The Baseball Section was effectively administered by the Melbourne Cricket Club Committee. Hence Major B. Wardill (Secretary Melbourne Cricket Club) was effectively Secretary & Chairman of the Baseball Section.
** No information available.
*** Following the death of A.N. Crighton in 1943 there was no Chairman appointed. Secretary Mr G. Belfrage effectively held both positions until his official appointment as Chairman in 1948.
