RE: What did Mr. Lincoln enjoy doing?
Reportedly Doubleday kept many diaries, and there was never a mention of baseball in any of them.
Remember, when the Baseball Hall Of Fame was founded around 1937, the growing patriotic ferver in the USA made it a logical choice to proclaim that a Civil War hero invented baseball.
I also read somewhere that Doubleday was a very argumentive person, and he fought with everyone. He was not a popular man in the Army either.
