How old is Baseball, really?
Saw this on the website "Retronaut":
‘Found in the margins of a calendar in a 14th-century Flemish book of hours. Various historians of sport have identified this as a version of “stool ball” or “stump ball”, which was baseball played with only one base’ - Got Medieval Via Got Medieval, TYWKIWDBI and The Walters Art Museum Anyway, thought it was interesting enough to share. Also, this one: Group picture, Boston Beaneaters and New York Giants, Major League Baseball Opening Day 1886. Charles Radbourn giving the finger to cameraman (back row, far left). First known photo of somebody flipping somebody else off. Interesting piece of history I guess, lol... Last edited by honus94566; 04-20-2013 at 10:00 AM.
