According to many sources, in 1700, Anglican bishop Thomas Wilson expressed his disapproval of " Morris-dancing, cudgel-playing, baseball and cricket " occurring on Sundays.
However, David Block, in Baseball Before We Knew It ( 2005 ), reports that the original source has " stoolball " for " baseball.
" Block also reports the reference appears to date to 1672, rather than 1700, and that it was the English game of baseball that had arrived in the U. S. as part of " a sweeping tide of cultural migration " during the colonial period.
