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 9 item 1850s.24reported that, nearly two decades later, some base ball clubs in Greater New York still retained the practice. Query: do we have any other contemporary evidence that plugging was still found in base ball into the 1850s?
