America's pass-time

Mystic - The Blue Stockings warm up for a game of base ball...in 1876. Yes, Base Ball. I have been told it was two words back in the day. Anyhow these are role-players at Mystic Seaport. I know that there was some hub-bub over the women's leagues of the 1940s, so I can only imagine how scandalous it was almost 70 years earlier.
