Subdeacon Joe Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 "Today in Baseball history December 16, 1896 In 1896, Princeton University mathematics instructor Charles Hinton designed a gunpowder-powered baseball pitching machine for the Princeton University baseball team’s batting practice. According to one source it caused several injuries, and may have been in part responsible for Hinton’s dismissal from Princeton that year. A demonstration was given in the school’s gymnasium on December 15, 1896. #baseball #PrincetonUniversity #Princeton #pitchingmachine #battingpractice"
