| Text | Manual of Cricket and Base Ball [Boston, Mayhew and Baker], per David Block, Baseball Before We Knew It, pages 218-219. Only four of this manual's 24 pages are given over to base ball, the newly composed rules for the MA game. Block: "Its historical significance lies in the fact that this was the first treatment of baseball as a pastime for adults in a book made available to the general public." |
