| Description | Seymour, "The People's Game" vol. 3, p. 304: "In 1868 a team from the American frigate Piscataqua won a game probably played at Singapore against a team from the British China squadron." The Americans won 66-28. Seymour suggests that many of the English navy sailors were Americans or had experience with the American game already. More certainly, on Dec. 20, 1948, the Dallas Morning News (under the headline "Men of U.S. Fleet Land at Singapore") report: "The seamen have basketball and baseball games scheduled with local teams." This hints that baseball teams already were established there. |
