Team Sport History
I am interested in the regulation of sports in the second half of the 1800s which both fixed and distinguished many major sports of today. I am also interested in how this global phenomena played out in Canada.
I am going to propose that there are a number of general classes of team sports and that can be illustrated in particular through the review of the history of team sport in this country.

- An article by Jordan Press on early baseball in Kingston.
- Goal and Ball Sports
- There are a vast number of team sports which have two ends, one ball and are played against the clock. They differ from the other basic class, stick and ball.
- Stick and Ball Sports
- There are fewer team sports which do not run against the clock.
