| Description | From Wiliam Humber's "Early Baseball in Canada" manuscript, 9/14/12: Brian Flood (on pages 18-19) in his Saint John: A Sporting Tradition 1785-1985 (Neptune Publishing, 1985) quotes D.R. Jack’s Centennial Prize Essay on the City and County of St. John (Saint John, New Brunswick: J & A. McMillan, 1883) from p. 124. “It was common practice with many of the leading merchants of Saint John to assemble each fine summer afternoon after the business of the day was over, on the north side of King Square, where a fine playground has been prepared, and engage in a game of cricket or baseball. This practice was continued until about 1840. Flood then notes, “Whether or not this was actually the game of “Rounders” or “Town Ball” is debatable. |
