History of Baseball
Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams that have a nine-player roster, whom take turns batting and fielding.
The modern day version of the game evolved from a bat-and-ball game that was played in England during the 18th century. Many references to games resembling the current game of baseball.
In September 1845, a group of men in New York established the New York Knickerbocker Baseball Club. One of its founding members, Alexander Cartwright, established the rules of conduct, known as the Knickerbocker Rules, which were the basis for the modern rules of baseball.
