I have been going through some of my stuff recently and just realized that I never posted the articles that were written in the local monthly New Marlborough 5 News journal in reference to the 1860s Base Ball rules & diagram. Thought everyone would enjoy the read so I am listing them now. First one is the April 2009 issue and the second is the May 2009 issue. The April issue has an article written by the local historian Jon Swan and a second article written by Richard Hershberger, a well known baseball historian. The May issue has a follow-up article written by Jon Swan pertaining to the Autographed Album from the South Berkshire Institute that ties all the pieces together.
A side note: Richard Hershberger wrote a more extensive article in the Spring 2010 issue of
Base Ball -A Journal of the Early Game-
Special thanks to Jon & Richard for all the time, effort and exceptional work.
