Did baseball begin in 18th-century England?

There is an excellent article and video on CNN on the origins of baseball.

“An extract from an 18th-century diary containing the oldest known reference to baseball is among the items on display in a new exhibition in London exploring the English origins and cricketing connections of America’s national sport.

“While baseball was once claimed to have been invented in the U.S. in the mid-19th century, recent findings suggest a sport of the same name may have evolved decades earlier alongside cricket, crossing the Atlantic with English settlers to the American colonies.”

Match report-Pleasure vs Hot Dogs-Sunday May 30 2010

A sunny Sunday morning greeted the Pleasure Boys at The Camel Bar for their journey out to SRFC minus Swahili who had overslept and elected to make his way directly to the ground…..a fine omen?? But more on this later.

Pleasure lost the toss and fielded first. A reasonably disciplined bowling performance apart from the 27 wides and 4 dropped catches but plenty of enthusiasm in the field particularly from Tank and Latex who was bounding around like a man half his size.

Bowling honours were equally shared with a hostile opening spell from Dazzler, control in the middle from Long Dong, who was on a hat trick at one stage and guile & variety from Bugs and Omega to close out the Hot Dogs innings at 137 all out. (more…)
