Best Answer

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.
