The basics of baseball were invented in 1839.
In 1845 baseball became an organized sport and some rules were changed that allowed this version to grow into the baseball of today.

It wasn't really invented - it evolved from earlier games and there's been some sort of sport called "baseball" for several hundred years.
The Doubleday story is regarded by pretty much every serious baseball historian as a myth. The earliest event that's directly traceable to the modern game is the formulation of the "Knickerbocker rules" by Alexander Cartwright in 1845, which were the first known attempt to formalize the rules of the game.
