Description | "By 1850, California the territory had become California the state. Even as the early euphoria of the Gold Rush faded, more people -- and more New Yorkers -- kept coming west. Two years later, on January 14, 1852, the Daily Alta California carried an intriguing item. It described how, on a street in San Francisco, 'full grown persons [were] engages very industriously in he game of town ball.' The newspaper did not provide the names or any details regarding the identity of these full-grown persons. But the seed had been planted. The game had arrived. Guys were playing ball, winter ball, in California." |
Sources | Daily Alta California, January 14, 1852. Cited in Kevin Nelson, The Golden Game: The Story of California Baseball (California Historical Society Press, San Francisco, 2004), page 7. |
