He describes the game in terms that seem similar to later accounts of rounders and base-ball in English texts. The game is described as one-out, side-out, having a three-strike rule, and placing the pitcher a few steps from the batsman.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Block advises [11/6/2005 communication] that Gutsmuths provides "the first hard, unambiguous evidence associating a bat with baseball . . . . We can only speculate as to when a bat was first employed in baseball, but my intuition is that it happened fairly early, probably by the mid-18&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;".
