Default Earliest baseball card?
Posted By: jay behrens

On the SABR 19c list, thoughts are leaning towards a ball game called "stool ball", which is one of many variants of stick and ball games from that era. Lots of leaning towards Town ball since they are playing in front of a building with a flag flying in front and Town Ball games were usually played near the courthouse or town hall.
