American Baseball Myth: Abner Doubleday Wasn't The Inventor

By Adam Bruce

There is absolutely no evidence that Abner Doubleday invented the American game of baseball.

Early American settlers played a game they brought with them from England, a game called rounders, a form of cricket.

Eventually, the formal rules were altered to embrace a simple and faster game in America referred to as Town Ball.

The game we now know as baseball evolved from this adaptation and quickly was accepted as a new sport among urban area residents.
