Origin of Baseball
Origin of Baseball
There are several versions of its origin. According to historians, there is evidence that the origin of baseball dates back to the Middle Ages where a game called Stool Ball was played. In addition, at the beginning of the 17th century, evidence was found that the terms baseball and bat and ball were already being used in that period. For historians, the evolution of these sports gave rise to the current baseball.
But there is the legend of Abner Doubleday. In 1839, West Point academy cadet Abner Doubleday is said to have invented baseball in Cooperstown, New York, according to a popular American story for which no documentary evidence exists. Its New York origin made it initially known as the New York Game, See

to later spread throughout all the states. In 1857 the National Baseball Association was born and in 1869 the first professional club, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, was founded.
Although the exact origin of the game is difficult to determine, the only thing certain is that modern baseball developed in the United States of America.
