Text | The Village Green; or, Sports of Youth [New Haven, S. Babcock], per David Block, Baseball Before We Knew It, page 204. Yes, another chapbook comes out of New Haven, and yes, it again uses the much-traveled woodcut from Mary's Book of Sports from 1832, but now we have some verbal action: "Now a knock, and swift it flies/O'er the plain the troop are flying,/ Joy is sparkling in their eyes,/ As to catch it all are trying." |
