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 prefer peach baskets, but they will eat picnic baskets too if that's the only one available
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.

They used peach baskets
all i know is that they used to be peach baskets.
The basketball was first discovered by a man named Dr. James Naismith. He taught at the YMCA training school in Springfield Massachusetts. He used peach baskets as the goals. The peach baskets then had the bottoms of them removed so that the ball could swish through the baskets instead of hitting the bottom.
