Description | It appears that shinty was a bat-and-ball game known in Britain and Ireland and America before 1800 (Strutt, 1903 reprinting, page 92.). Not usually reported as a base-running game, it may have resembled what we now call field hockey. As of 2022, Protoball.org has not collected much information on the history this game. It appears to be similar or identical with the game known as hurling . Other names we know of are listed at bandy, [[hunyou-hinyou]], and Iceland's [[knattleikar]]. Today's digital searches sometimes reveal shinty being played in the United States long ago. In August 2022, Protoball's legendary Bruce Allardice reports: "I found a reference to games of shinty (sort of a field hockey-type game) played at the Elysian Fields in 1839 (NY Herald, Sept. 10, 1839) as part of the Highland games" (Email of 8/12/2022).
