Text | "Morning Sports - A fight took place on Saturday morning on the levee, and a game of ball on 2d street just above the Columbia Hotel. Quite a number of gentlemen witnessed thee amusements, and seemed highly entertained by them." Sacramento Transcript, March 18, 1851 (as reprinted in the Spirit of the Times on May 17, 1851). Posted to the 19CBB listserve on December 15, 2009. Another game in Sacramento was covered in April of 1854. John argues that "the above 'game of ball' may be inferred to be baseball (I think)." |
