| Text | This depiction of ballplaying appeared in a New York paper on June 5, 1850. It's main subject is the activity of "Sunday Sports" -- idly smoking, gambling. In middle distance some form of ballplaying -- or perhaps a fungo pastime? -- is under way among 3 or 4 players. |
| Sources | The Universe, June 5, 1850. |

| Comment | John Thorn, 11/15/2022: "Just now I stumbled upon a *new* illustration of baseball play in New York, from The Universe, June 1, 1850 (a weekly) . . ." He later surmised: "We are looking south toward the inhabited part of the city, so this may be the region that would become Central Park. The wights are smoking and gambling and otherwise violating the Sabbath, I expect ... thus "Sunday Sports." From David Block, 11/15/2022: "Excellent! This may be the earliest illustration of baseball to appear in an American newspaper. It is akin to the simple engravings of baseball-like activity found in chapbooks and school readers of the era."
