| Text | John G. B. Adams of the 19th MA recalled that in early 1863, when the regiment was stationed opposite Fredericksburg, Unions soldiers watched the Confederates playing ball games cross the river. "We would sit on the bank and watch their games, and the distance was so short we could understand every movement and would applaud good plays." Cited in Kirsch, "Baseball in Blue and Gray," which uses Adams' history of the regiment as source. |
