|Description=<p>"My name is Corky Gaskell and I am a trustee on the Vintage Base Ball Association board, and captain of the local Rochester, MN vintage club called the Roosters Base Ball Club.&nbsp; I learned to make vintage base balls a few years back and have started teaching others, but I wanted to add more historical value to what I am doing, and teaching.&nbsp; I am still fairly new to the history of the game, but a willing participant in trying to get it right.I am not an author, nor am I a historian. I am just a Joe Average out looking to learn more. My inspiration comes from my learning about Doc Adams and all he did for the game. That is why I started making base balls 5-6 years ago, and why I continue to have a passion for this, which includes teaching others."</p><br />
<p>-- From an email of January 23, 2018.</p><br />
|Contributions=<p>In January 2018, Corky agreed to serve as moderator for a Protoball-based email conversation on how and why the base ball evolved the way it did.&nbsp; As part of that discussion, the group plans to review the evidence on the balls used in earlier games, including real tennis, cricket, stoolball, and golf.</p><br />
