A Little Pretty Pocket-Book –
Correct capitalisation of the book title, rather than Pocketbook or Pocket Book

The article currently reads 'and includes a rhyme entitled "Base-Ball." This is the first known reference to "base-ball" or "baseball" in print, though it actually meant the game rounders, an ancestor of modern baseball.' There is no citation given for the section stating 'though it actually meant the game rounders, an ancestor of modern baseball', and the second chapter of the book Baseball Before We Knew It (David Block, 2005) is essentially a repudiation of this assertion. Should probably be deleted. 2A02:1810:2E09:D300:D4:8793:85B2:B80C ( talk) 20:11, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
