The Complete Guide to Baseball: Acquiring Expertise In The Game, Techniques, And Tactics

By Dominic Randall

There is no unambiguous solution to the question of where baseball came from. Though uniquely American, baseball has its roots in a number of international ball sports.
Bat-and-ball games were played in England long before baseball was even conceived of, and here is where the bat-and-ball idea comes in. Baseball is thought to have been influenced by games like rounders, stoolball, and cricket. In these games, players hit a ball with a bat and ran between bases, much like in baseball.
Many people believe that the New York Knickerbockers Baseball Club, which was established in 1845, played baseball before any other teams. The Knickerbockers were instrumental in developing the game and establishing many of its early regulations.
The Knickerbockers and a group of cricket players played the first game of baseball played according to contemporary rules in 1846.
The bases were set up in a diamond formation in Hoboken, New Jersey, and each team had nine players. This contest laid the groundwork for contemporary baseball.
