| Text | Approximating the usual later designation of base ball as the "national pastime", the New York Sunday Mercury referred to it as the "national out-door game." |
| Sources | New York Sunday Mercury, Oct. 2, 1853 |
| Warning | |
| Comment | Since at the time only three clubs, all in New York City, were playing Knickerbocker Rules Base Ball, the Mercury necessarily was referring to the group of safe-haven games under various names played throughout the United States since colonial times. Edit with form to add a comment |
