Description | A 2006 book evidently indicates that the first base ball game in West Virginia took place in 1866. William Akin's book describes how, in August 1866, Jacob Hornbrook, of the Hunkidori Base Ball Club, became "the first West Virginian to bat in a "match game of Base Ball." He faced a pitcher from the Union Club of Washington, PA, on Wheeling Island WV. Wheeling Island is an island on the Ohio River within Wheeling WV.
