Protoball Chronology Item 1850s.24 reports that William Wheaton said that the plugging of base-runners had been outlawed in the late 1830s in New York. However, Henry Chadwick reported that, nearly two decades later, some base ball clubs in Greater New York still retained the practice. Query: do we have any contemporary evidence that plugging was still found in base ball into the 1850s?
