I have seen closeup scans of Jason's dag with the child holding the apparent ball. It is very intriguing. The object does appear to be a ball and when I blew it up, it may have had stitching. I'm not an expert on dating some of these photos, but I think Jason is. Could be one of the earliest baseball related images out there.


BTW, I also just picked up a first edition (1864) copy of American Boy's Book of Sports and Games which describes early ball games.
