Hello sweet creatures, pretty sure you heard this news. According to legend, the history of baseball can be traced back to a young man named Abner Doubleday, who invented the game during the summer of 1839 in Cooperstown, New York. Doubleday would eventually become a Civil War hero, and baseball would gradually become America’s national pastime.
Sad to be tru that is completely untrue. The real history of baseball is actually a bit complicated, and the true origins remain uncertain.
People have used bats to hit balls since ancient Egypt. In many societies throughout Europe, bat and ball games were common. One common theory is that American baseball has its origins in the British game of rounders, though it is more likely that both rounders and baseball have at least some origins in the sport of cricket. There are 18th century references to a British game called baseball, but the sport bears little resemblance to the American pastime
