| Text | “As I look out of our window to the West . . . I see on the green sward, a hundred men laughing, talking, playing ball, cards and leap-frog, drilling and doing a hundred things for this or that purpose of pleasure or profit.” From a May 5 1861 note by Lt. Willoughby Babcock, in Babcock, Selections from the Letters and Diaries of Brevet-Brigadier General Willoughby Babcock of the Seventy-Fifth New York Volunteers, Bulletin 2 of New York State’s War of the Rebellion Series, 1922, page 92. (Accessed in Google books, 5/29/09, via the search “Willoughby Babcock”.) . Babcock was a lieutenant in 1862 with the Third New York Volunteers. A five-page summary of his comments on military recreation has no other reference to ballplaying. He died in October 1864 of wounds inflicted in the Battle of Winchester VA. |
