| Text | John Thorn [emails of 9/1/2009] has unearthed an engraving of City Hall Park that depicts a ball game in progress in the distance. My squint shows me pitcher, batsman, a close-in catcher, two distant fielders and three spectators (two seated). Old cat? Single wicket cricket? Scrub base ball? The lithograph, titled "The Park, 1827," is published as the frontispiece Valentine's Manual for the Corporation of the City of New York (1855). For a wee image, try a Google Web search ("the park, 1827/McSpedon"). |
