Text | The Eagle Ball Club of New York is organized to play an unknown game of Ball; in 1852 the club reconstitutes itself as the Eagle Base Ball Club and begins to play the New York Game. Per John Thorn, 6/15/04: Source is Eagle Base Ball Club Constitution of 1852. William Wood wrote that the Eagle Club "originally played in the 'old-fashioned way' of throwing the ball to the batter and at the runner in order to put him out." See Thorn weblog of 7/16/2005. William Wood, Manual of Physical Exercises. [Harper Bros., 1867], pp. 189-90 |
