I collect early mentions of baseball and thoses games which are the roots of the game. Mostly books including childrens school book,chapbooks, and game books
Examples
1844 Boy's Own Book- early decription of rounders
1840's Sander's first reader- school book with a cover illistration of a one boy pitching to another in a school yard scene
1864- American Boy's Book of Sports- early rules of the game and furst color picture in a book
1869- Changing Base- 1st baseball fiction
Always looking for people who run accross early references
