Long before sports became embedded in the state’s high schools and universities, fans were entertained by teams fielded by local communities. Baseball has always been the most popular. Starting in the late 1800s and continuing in some form to the present, many teams participated in what is sometimes called “town ball.” Shown here is an 1894 “town ball” baseball team from Walnut Ridge (Lawrence County).
