Did baseball Evolve out of an American Indian religious custom called the Sun Dance Ripley thought so?
Look at the theories and facts: Baseball is unknown in Europe could not have been imported by immigrants. Baseball is a high-seasonal activity and has considerable ritual protocols. nine innings and players could signify the nine month growing season, the three winter months not used. The pitcher could symbolize the Spirit of the Sun, The four bases, the four seasons. the Dugout might be the survival of some sort of trench bunker, and the whole field a sort of sundial-but lacking a gnomon. I have seen various diagrams by Ripley and possibly the cartoon Indian (Chico) of the Santa Fe (RR line) Chico is seen staking out a diamond in the earth with a stick and thus launches into the baseball origin theory. one notes animalism (Chicago Cubs) and some American Indian angles as well (Indians, Braves, Reds). finally the Sun Worship idea was common among many primitive peoples linked to agrarian works. One notes that there was and still is considerable resistsance to Night Baseball-nothing after dark! Except for the absence of a Gnomon, the Sun-dance idea does have its good points.
