Fine and cool. The Base Ball match comes off and the 91&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; gets beat by two runs and the[y] come home jolly.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;From a telephone auction offering that has this description: “Fascinating personal journal was carried on the person of 91&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; New York Volunteer Infantry Private Edwin Keay during the Union Army campaign of 1863 through the bayous and battlefields of Louisiana. . . Diary is perhaps most valuable, however, for its several mentions of the game of baseball, which are all but impossible to find in journals from the war . . . . ‘Thursday, December 3 . . . The new bats and balls have come up and the match takes place this afternoon . . . the 91&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; gets beat.’” Accessed at the Giamatti Center of the Baseball Hall of Fame [Civil War file] on June 26, 2009. The auction clip is not dated. The 91&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; was organized in Albany. It was garrisoned at New Orleans for much of 1863 and early 1864. &lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; does the December entry imply that the Union Army supplied bats and balls to the troops? &lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; It appears that other baseball-related entries are in the diary. Can we find it? A copy of a Keay diray, possibly a later one, is reportedly held as item MDMS-5433 in the Maryland Manuscript Collection [Keay spent some of 1865 stationed in Baltimore].&lt;/p&gt;".
