Baseball Diamond

“Base Ball is a field game played principally in the United States. It originated in the English school-boy game of “rounders;” but it has been so improved and so generally played as to merit its name of “the National game of America.” The plaing of baseball has become largely a business or a “profession,” and skilled players receive large salaries. As an amateur game, however, it is also most popular."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
