Description	Freedman, "Diamonds in the Rough," p. 11, quotes an 1894 magazine article by General Frederick Funston. Funston says that while in Alaska he found crews of whalers stranded on Herschel island by the ice. While stranded, the bored crews played baseball. "A league of seven teams was created" and they played all winter, even when the weather was well below zero. The local Eskimos often watched.
