<p>Add new research findings to appropriate parts of the Protoball site.</p>  +
<p>Are we misinterpreting the early base-on balls rule?</p>  +
B
<p>As recounted at http://protoball.org/-3000c.1, 66 years ago an Italian researcher reported that Berbers in Libya were playing a two-base safe-haven game with several base-ball-like rules. He suggested that the game had come to Africa centuries earlier. It’s time to poke a bit at that conjecture. Is this the only claim for a base ball predecessor game in Africa? If it were a common pastime, shouldn’t we now have many additional sightings by now? Can we at least locate someone who might do some web searches in Arabic? Can we rule out the possibility that later forms of base ball were taught to locals, say 70 or 100 years ago?</p>  +

<p>Protoball Chronology Item [[1837.1]] reports that William Wheaton said that the plugging of base-runners had been outlawed in the late 1830s in New York. However, Henry Chadwick (item [[1850s.24]])reported that, nearly two decades later, some base ball clubs in Greater New York still retained the practice.</p>  +

<p>Protoball is undertaking to document the local origins of modern base ball -- and the baserunning games than may have preceded base ball -- throughout the US.  </p>  +
<p>Protoball's <em>Chronology</em> includes about 1500 key events in the evolution of base ball, but this far (2020) it has fewer than a dozen accounts of female play in the United States up to the Civil War.  In contrast, there are nearly 30 cases of known female play in England for this period. </p> <p> </p>  +
<p>The now-familiar single-seam base ball covering appears to have been introduced to base ballin about 1876 [?]  Was it a new innovation, or had prior ballgames (real tennis, cricket, stoolball) already adopted the pattern in earlier days?</p>  +
<p>To support the presentation of local origins of base ball in cities that will host Annual SABR Conventions, it may be useful to support local chapter members on available data on earliest base ball -- and local predecessor games -- for summary in Convention handouts, possibly including a article in the <em>National Pastime.</em> </p>  +
<p>We have identified nearly 150 baseball varients.  For many. YouTube clips show how such baserunning games are or were played.  Such clips often convey a sense of the game that words alone cannot describe.</p>  +
<p>While base ball has long been seen as an American game, many of the modern game's earliest rules are known in juvenile games in Britain.  Which of the Knickerbocker's initial 14 playing rules had precedents in prior English games?</p>  +
<p>YouTube and other sources have videos that help conveys the nature of various baseball-like games, including many listed on Protoball’s [[Glossary of Games]].  URLs cos such can be added to the Glossay entries.</p>  +
