A Cold Day in Springfield

Imagine entering a gymnasium in 1891: there are no bright jerseys or rubber floors. Instead, you see eighteen young men in long-sleeved wool shirts and long trousers.

They are throwing a heavy leather soccer ball toward a fruit basket while a janitor waits nearby with a ladder. Naismith said, 'We need two teams of nine players.'
