| Text | The Story of a Cannoneer under Stonewall Jackson by Edward a. Moore. Page 273-- "The greatest difficulty incurred in having a game of ball, was the procurement of a ball that would survive even one inning. One fair blow from the bat would sometimes scatter it into so many fragments that the batter would claim that there were not enough remains caught by any one fielder to put him out."
