| Text | The Atlanta Southern Confederacy, April 11, 1862, editorializes against ball playing in the city streets: "Boys Playing in the Streets... a nuisance...let them go [outside the city] where their balls will not be striking against persons passing the streets...We have no wish to deprive the boys of their pleasure--particularly of the healthful exercise of ball playing--but it is inconvenient and dangerous in our streets." Unclear whether this is town ball or baseball. |
