| Text | "It is not unreasonable to speculate that as the immigrants came down the Ohio River . . . they brought with them the leisure activities hat had already developed in the cities along the Atlantic coast. There are reports of a form of cricket being played in the city as early at 1818." Bailey, Bob, "Beginnings; From Amateur Teams to Disgrace in the National League," [1999], page 1. Note: The original source of the 1818 reference may have been lost. Bob reports that he got the item from Dean Sullivan's master's thesis on baseball in Louisville, and that Dean cited Harold Peterson's The Man Who Invented Baseball, page 24. However, Peterson gives no source. Dead end? |
