hf101 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Great Find @james laverance I enjoy these. Quote "One of the wooden balls, with which this game is played, swerved from the direction which was intended to be sent by the batter, and struck his face ..." Interesting comment there of "by the batter" a blend of baseball and hockey ? Quote "This game should at once be abandoned by the boys, as it is dangerous to life and limb, or else substitute balls of more elastic material." Yep, a hard rubber puck. lol Nearly 150 years later ... the game isn't much less dangerous, just more exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kings Redeem LA Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 The boys probably should avoid the game. But thankfully for us fans they don't! Cheers on all your research and related threading, James! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
