Historical Baseball Game at the Sphinx
In 1889, a baseball game was played at the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt between teams led by Cap Anson and an All American team, symbolizing a world tour to promote baseball. Despite rough conditions like sand blowing, the All Americans won nine to six, with Jim Fogarty hitting the Sphinx's right eye. The tour encompassed five continents and historic landmarks, ending in Rome after 53 games and 30,000 miles traveled.
