The History of Baseball

Baseball is believed to have originated in the United States in the early 19th century. The first recorded game was played in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1846. The game quickly spread in popularity, and by the end of the century, it was being played all over the country.

The early days of baseball were marked by a number of innovations. In 1845, Alexander Cartwright of the New York Knickerbockers introduced a set of rules that standardized the game. These rules included the establishment of nine innings, the use of a bat and a ball, and the creation of the strike zone.

In the late 19th century, baseball began to evolve into the modern game that we know today. The first professional baseball league, the National League, was founded in 1876. The American League was founded in 1901, and the two leagues have been playing against each other ever since.

The early 20th century was a golden age for baseball. Some of the greatest players in the game's history played during this time, including Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Walter Johnson.
