Description | Unverified accounts suggest that Meta is a traditional Hungarian folk game. We are seeking further information about this game and how it was played. Some accounts refer to a game called "Longa Meta" as a Hungarian base-running game, and a game by that name is listed in an (undated) Italian list of 20 baserunning games. "Longa Meta" is said to be a Latin phrase, not a Hungarian term.

Comment | It seems possible, but not particularly likely, that Longa Meta is a very early form of baserunning game, especially if the Hungarians adopted it from their Latin-speaking neighbors. Protoball welcomes your help in evaluating Longa Meta. Edit with form to add a comment |
