I don't think the Hohokam played baseball, but they played something that may have been similar. They had a big pit and balls made out of stone, but I am not aware if anyone known the particulars past this. However the ball pits were part of a changing society. Ball pits were used from 750 until perhaps 1250. So the ball pits preceeded Casa Grande. There are about 200 pits located in the Arizona area.

Around Casa Grande are many more edifices in addition to the Casa Grande. Many have been exca vated and then reburied so as to preserve them for future study.
