It’s generally thought that baseball was first played sometime around 1846 in America, but a recent diary found in Surrey, England written by William Bray may prove that the game of baseball was played in the mother country sometime back in 1755. Ouch. Just when this country couldn’t sink any lower.  If we lose baseball, then I’m moving to Canada, growing a mullet and lacing up the ole hockey skates, ay.  [Sun Herald]
