Data

“Base ball” was mentioned in an article entitled “Great Tournaments or The Chivalry of the Olden Times” that appeared in a newspaper for boys, and delved into the history of a medieval castle in Hertfordshire: “Time has worked marvellous (sic) changes in the castle of Berkhamsted. In the courtyard where knights and nobles mounted on horses used to battle, the grammar-school boys play at base ball, and toddling youngsters make daisy chains under the peaceful sunny skies of spring time.”
