A newspaper reported that “baseball” was one of the amusements enjoyed by teachers and children connected with the Free Church Sabbath School of the Scottish Borders town of Greenlaw, Berwickshire, at their annual picnic held on a grassy field six miles outside of town: “The green sward was soon enlivened by gay and happy groups engaged in racing, leaping, football, baseball, rope-skipping, swinging, &c.”
