An 1867 base ball scorebook. A close second goes to eleven 1869 cabinets of a group of baseball players (Kearsarge team). I have had several civil war diaries and letters with mention about baseball in them but they have departed. I even had a Union POW soldier who mentioned about playing baseball against the officers while imprisoned in Tyler, Texas.

I wish Barry Sloate had the time to list what he has owned...just pre-1870. I think it would put everbody to shame, even Barry Halper's early material. It would probably take him a week just to list them all...but if he ever gets bored, maybe he'll give us the pleasure.
