Description	Apparently a variant spelling of base ball. The most famous usage is in a Princeton student’s diary entry for 1786 (5 years before the first known use of "base ball" in the US), which reveals only that the game involves catching and hitting. Note: Princeton was known as the College of New Jersey until 1896.
Sources	See Protoball Chronology entry 1786.1. A second entry, 1848c.9, includes baste ball in a list of boyhood games played by future US President Benjamin Harrison.
