[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 127714"] Yeah, it was us who introduced Baseball to the Colonies. Jane Austin even mentioned in one of her books, [i]Northanger Abbey[/i] (written between 1798 and 1803), talks of boys & girls playing "base-ball" on the village green. The first ever mention of the game is actually from a wood cut which appears in a 1744 publication. The appearance of the game in the wood cut shows the game has changed only by a little since it first came about. [/QUOTE]
