Protoball is opening a page on the state of knowledge about Elysian Fields and its influence on the evolution of base ball.  Irwin Chusid and Jon Popovich have expressed strong interest in writing further about Elysian Fields, and will participate in this limited-term discussion. For a riveting presentation on Elysian Fields from a base ball researcher's point of view, see Irwin and Jonathan's recent Youtube presentation at:

As something of an time-limited experiment in supporting current Origins research, we plan to resume the stimulating e-mail discussion of new research on the role of Elysian Fields in the evolution of ball-playing that Peter Mancuso initiated a couple of months ago.  That group included several of our best-informed authors and observers.  Irwin and Jon will participate.

Some issues that seem likely to be covered include:


[] A.  Aspects of the role of Elysian Fields that we wish we knew more about.  Possible example: what does EF tell us about the role of unavailable local playing grounds in the diffusion of base ball?

[] B.  Favorite sources of existing coverage of ballplaying at Elysian Fields for those who want to read up (or refresh their grasp) of current knowledge on Elysian Fields.

[] C.  Other factors that we haven't thought of.


While the main fun may well be in the e-mail exchanges that ensue, Protoball will import material from the discussion on this page for the benefit of future Origins researchers.
