American Baseball


"You want the truth, You can't handel the truth" But you're going to hear it from me...The game that America gave to the world came from England. A diary found in a shed in Surrey County England last year is verified as genuine. William Bray, an 18 th century lawyer of Surrey kept many diaries. One entry in the 1754 to 1755 diary says that he played baseball with friends in my town Guildford, on Easter Monday in 1755. The diary showed that the game was a well established sport and was played by men and women. This was 20 years before American Independence. The boys at my golf club sure had fun digging me with that news.
