A Short Baseball History by Regan Shaors http://www.fleerbaseball.com Although baseball technically came into being around it the early 19th century, it's probably been around a lot longer. That's when he first baseball clubs were formed. In 1845, an Englishman named Alexander Cartwright came up with the first list of rules for what is now called baseball. Many of Cartwright's rules are still used in baseball today. A group of amateur players formed the first baseball league in 1958. It was called the National Association of Baseball Players. The National Association of Baseball Players began charging admission to its baseball games in their very first year. At the turn of the century, the American League of baseball came into being and began playing in 1901. The game of baseball was still very much a game of strategy. The game depended on bunting, base stealing and contact hitters. With the invention of the cork centered baseball, all that changed. Because the new baseball allowed for more home runs baseball's popularity took off--and so did the cost of admissions.Throughout the early 20th century, the game of baseballrelied more and more on the hitting of home runs, and lesson strategy. This was thanks to great baseball players like Babe Ruth, who completely revolutionized the game with hisprowess at hitting home runs. It is largely due to the "Babe" that baseball became one of the most popular sports in America. And it didn't hurt future baseball players that people were willing to pay to see Babe Ruth play. In the beginning of the twentieth century, the American League of baseball was formed and it started playing in 1901. The game of baseball was still very much a game of strategy. It depended on bunting, base stealing and contact hitters. However, with the invention of the cork centered baseball, things changed. Now, the new baseball allowed for more home runs. This took the popularity of baseball to dizzy heights. As a natural consequence the cost of admissions also soared. Who else wants their Link to be placed here?
