About two pages into her novel, Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen writes that her heroine, Catherine Morland, likes to play Baseball and cricket. She is making Catherine Morland out to be a tomboy and not very heroic. But one thing significant about this is that it was written about 1798, and is one of the oldest mentions of baseball in literature.
