“Baseball is now generally
conceded to be our national game... From the infant of a few years ago it has risen to the proportions of a giant… That
which in the earlier days of most of us was deemed a childish pastime has become a game that requires skill, manliness and
strength.”
- Missouri Republican, June 22, 1867
