Default In Door Baseball in 1909
In a Sanitarium. Thought it interesting so decided to share...It is a postcard postmarked 1909.

That's pretty cool, Leon...thanks for sharing.

I wonder why the infield is playing so far in...it makes you wonder if they used a regulation baseball or some sort of soft baseball that did not travel as fast or far

I agree with the soft baseball theory. No way they were that close to the batter with a hardball unless the Sanitarium wanted to thin the population. Oh and very cool postcard Leon!

I don't the answer but if they aren't using a ball that doesn't travel as fast or far as a regular one, the shortstop is going to get smashed in the face.

He's literately right on top of him, lol. Maybe he has savage reflexes, so they put him up front, haha.

There are Spalding Indoor Baseball "how to" booklets with the blue covers, just like the regular baseball ones from around 1910 to 1920 time period.

Apparently, it was easier to escape from the Sanitarium Infirmary.

Interesting! Appears to be windows all around that could be opened on a hot summer day. "Knocking one out of the sanitarium" doesn't quite roll off the tongue like "knocking one outta the park"!
