Description	"Cauldwell recalled playing baseball in New York City when he was 'knee high to a mosquito" . . . . The game he remembered was called simply 'three out all out.'" Cauldwell was born in 1824. Depending on the size of mosquitos then, the game he recalls was played in c1835. One speculates that the game was a variant of a folk game preceding modern base ball.
Sources	David Block, Baseball Before We Knew It (2005), page 90. Block cites William Cauldwell letter to William Rankin, February 11, 1905. John Doyle Papers.
