| Text | "I suppose nowadays you play ball considerably. If I can judge by our condition up here, it is the time of year [March] to play ball. I think it was a great pity that we couldn't teach these lazy rascals to play that beautiful game - Base Ball." Letter from Charles C. Cain to William Butler at Nathaniel Hall, Nathanial [sic] County PA, as reported in a syndicated column by Grantland Rice on July 7, 1949. Posted to 19CBB by John Thorn on 11/5/2007. |
| Sources | Richardson (TX) Echo, July 15, 1949 |
| Warning | There is no such county as Nathanial County, PA. Nor was I able to find the named individuals in the 1830 census. [ba] |
