Description

Unverified accounts suggest that Meta is a traditional Hungarian folk game.

We are seeking further information about this game and how it was played.

Some accounts refer to a game called "Longa Meta" as a Hungarian base-running game, and a game by that name is listed in an (undated) Italian list of  20 baserunning games.  "Longa Meta" is said to be a Latin phrase, not a Hungarian term.

 

Comment

It seems possible, but not particularly likely, that Longa Meta is a very early form of baserunning game, especially if the Hungarians adopted it from their Latin-speaking neighbors.  Protoball welcomes your help in evaluating Longa Meta.
