| Text | Southern Literary Messenger, volume 18, number 2, February 1852, page 96, per David Block, Baseball Before We Knew It, page 214. The fifth stanza of the poem "Morning Musings on an Old School-Stile" reads: "How they poured the soul of gay and joyous boyhood/ Into roaring games of marbles, bat and base-bal!/ Thinking that the world was only made to play in, -/ Made for jolly boys, tossing, throwing balls! Also submitted by David Ball, 6/4/2006. Note: John Thorn interprets this phrase to denote two games, bat-ball and base-ball. Others just see it as a local variant for base-ball. Is the truth findable here? |
