The account, which first appeared in a CT paper, &lt;i&gt;The Winsted Herald&lt;/i&gt;, noted:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"These old fellows were born before the era of the national game opened. They doubtless knew how to play one, two, and three old cat, and wicket, and the old fashioned kind of base ball when a foul was known as a tick; when a ball, which was not an instrument of torture as now, was thrown at a runner instead of to the baseman . . . "&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The story is told in Genovese, Daniel L, &lt;u&gt;The Old Ball Ground: The Chronological History of Westfield Baseball&lt;/u&gt; (2004), page 12. Genovese cites the &lt;i&gt;Times and News Letter&lt;/i&gt; [City?], July 21, 1886, which had reprinted the &lt;i&gt;Winsted Herald&lt;/i&gt; piece. &lt;b&gt;Note:&lt;/b&gt; Can we obtain the original article? It seems difficult to distinguish the men's reflections from the notions of the 1886 reporter.&lt;/p&gt;". Since there have been only a few results, also nearby values are displayed.
