| Comment | Some source say the Princeton's entry occurred in 1858. One example: "Baseball was introduced into the American college from the general community. The first regular nine was formed at Princeton in 1858. Yale and Amherst organized teams in the following year." C. F. Thwing, A History of Higher Education in America (D. Appleton and Co., New York, 1906), page 885. Note also that item #1857.13 above pre-dates the 1858 report. Edit with form to add a comment |
