Default 1880 baseball postal card
This August 24, 1880 postal card to the Haymaker base ball club of Bellville, Ohio from the Fredrickstown base ball club from Fredrickstown, Ohio is one of the earliest postal cards I've seen referencing baseball (I don't remember seeing one from before 1880), and is the earliest example of a base ball challenge sent as a postal card I have seen.
