Brooklyn Eagle, 1846
(a newspaper quote)
In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing "base", a certain game of ball.
Let us go forth a while, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms.
The game of ball is glorious.
--Walt Whitman
