For the first game of basketball in 1891, two half-bushel peach baskets were used as the goals, which gave the sport its name.

Yes, and I am hunting for one for my old bushel basket
I believe that peach baskets were the first ones used. The bottom was cut out.

They never cut holes in the bottom of peach baskets. Every time a shot was amde they had to climb a ladder and get the ball down. They had to continue to do this until rims were created.
When James Naismith invented the game, the hoop was a peach basket WITH the bottom still in it.
