1848 Baseball Daguerreotype on Mastro..
Posted By: barrysloate
There were dozens of games in the mid-19th century that could be played with a ball, and most would have been homemade. Someone, such as a child's mother, would stuff the ball and stitch it and and give it to her child to play with. I don't think the images are dags, and the chance of them being baseball is extremely small. Nevertheless, early cased images showing children holding balls is still special and is as close as one is likely to find relating to any outdoor game played with a ball.
