A Brief History of Baseball

          This game has been known as America’s past-time seen Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs in one session. The one thing a lot of people would like to know is where baseball came from. Most people think that baseball was invented off the idea of cricket, but baseball historians think it is more like the English game rounders.

           The first real record of baseball is when it was banded from playing around a town meeting hall. The first real set of rules was written in New York in 1845. Even though there had already been teams for towns and cities. 

          Baseball plays a small, but powerful part in the U.S. history.  For example: after 9/11 occurred, the first sports event was held in Philadelphia at the Veterans’ Stadium. There had been an interview with one of the men who played that day who said that he didn’t even remember the score.

          People more then ever are cheering on their local team, but baseball is a conmen language among the fans. Whether you are a Philadelphia Phillies fan of a New York Mets fan, you are a baseball fan.
