Location Key West, FL, United States
Description

The Washington, DC Critic Record, Jan. 16, 1872, reports: "The citizens of Key West enliven the present heated term by playing base all."

Key West was a US naval station. Northern-born sailors may have introduced the game there, and earlier than 1872.
