1st Fictional baseball reference

Posted By: Jason mishelow

Barry is correct there were a couple of 18th century works which use the word baseball but do not give any info on what game is being referenced and a 1837 book which details a baseball like game played by native american's ( though it uses a fish head instead of a ball so it isn;t quite baseball)
There is also a 1860 work called the bobbin boy which decribes a game at ball but seems to describe a game much closer to Town Ball or Rounders then modern baseball
