Description	Describing ballplaying in the Confederate regiments during the Civil War, Wiley[220] suggests that “the exercise might be of the modern version, with players running four bases, or it might be two-base town ball.” It is not clear whether he means “two-base town ball” as a formal name, or simply as a way to distinguish prior folk game[s] in the South. Long Ball and Long Town used two bases.
