Baseball and It’s History
 |
Baseball is one of the popular sports played all over America. It is the national sports of the United States of America. This sport involves two teams of nine members each. The game is played basically with the help of bat and ball. The pitcher hauls a hard leather covered ball towards the batter, an opponent, who hits it with a wooden cylindrical bat.
While the opponent team tries to catch the ball, the batter has to run in counter clockwise direction covering four markers called bases. The match is divided into nine parts called innings. Both the teams ball and score runs in each inning. If a team gets three outs, it’s half-inning.
There has been three versions of baseball, but the one developed in the eighteenth century is the one we still play today. There have been many disagreements as to how and where baseball originated. There are reports that show the game happens to be a take off of an older game, originating in Great Britain, called rounders. The game was brought to America in the late 1700′s by British people. The American League and National League, with east, west, and central divisions in each, are the sub-categories of professional Major League Baseball.
The first established professional baseball club was the Cincinnati Red Stockings. In the 1860′s, baseball was all the rave in the United States, and newspapers began referring to baseball as the National Game or National Pastime. In 1876 the National League was formed then, after many tries, the American League was founded in 1901.
Compared to how the game is played today, during that time baseball was played very aggressively. Because it was more like a war, the time was call the dead-ball era. In the 1920′s, many rules were implemented making the game more civilized. This is the time when Babe Ruth entered the sport and became very famous.
