do u know who created baseball?

Question

i know but i want to see how many people actually know

Answer 1

No particular person created baseball. It evolved out of older stick-and-ball games such as rounders and town ball.

That said, the game's first rules were written by Alexander Cartwright in 1845, and the first recorded game involved Cartwright's Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of New York in 1846. That game was in Hoboken, N.J. Cartwright umpired the game, and his team lost decisively to the New York Nine.

More and more over the years, evidence has shown the Abner Doubleday story to be just that: a story. Doubleday did not invent the game of baseball. It's just not true, simple as that.

Many people have tried over the years to attach a single name to the game's invention, but that is simply impossible. Baseball is a game that was evolved, not created.

Even Cartwright's 1845 game of "base ball" was VERY different from the game of "baseball" we know today. There was underhand pitching, players could catch the ball on a bound for an out, the players did not wear gloves, and the object of the game was to score 21 runs. The game continued to evolve quickly over the subsequent decades. By the turn of the century, the game had become roughly the game we know today, though there were still some significant rule changes after that.

For more on the game's rule changes and evolution over time, check out the Vintage Base Ball Association. Clubs around the country play older forms of the game, and I say from experience that it's very enjoyable:

Answer 2

I can't believe how many people said Abner Doubleday. He has been completely discredited through research, and there's nothing in any records showing that he had anything to do with the game's creation. He was just someone propped up at one time as the game's inventor, despite being stationed at West Point during the time he was supposedly creating the game in Cooperstown.

In truth, nobody created baseball - it evolved from rounders and cricket. If anyone gets such credit, it's Alexander Cartwright for developing the first modern rule system for the game.

Answer 3

actually, no one knows who invented it. Doubleday is credited with it through a study conducted by the national league, but on further investigation it was determined that Doubleday had moved from the Cooperstown area a year before he allegedly invented it. Doubleday also never took credit for inventing it, and was already dead at the time of the study. Since no other inventor has surfaced, most people still credit him with it.

Incidentally, there is an Irish game called rounders that has 9 fielders, 4 bases and batters hitting balls. Some people think baseball really evolved from that.

Answer 4

Ha nicely if there is not any earnings regulations, and a youthful team which would be dominant for no less than 8 years after SS Hanley Ramirez 2B Dustin Pedroia 3B David Wright LF Ryan Braun CF Grady Sizemore RF Nick Markakis C Joe Mauer DH David Ortiz 1B Albert Pujols SP- Tim Lincecum SP- Jon Lester SP- Josh Beckett SP- Cole Hamels SP- Joba Chamberlain CL - Jon Papelbon guy, that could desire to be ill.

Answer 5

NOBODY INVENTED BASEBALL!! Many people said Abner Doubleday but it was proved false! The true inventor of baseball were kids hiting rocks with sticks!!!

Answer 6

Abner Doubleday had NOTHING to do with creating baseball.
Anyone who answered that he did hasn't bothered with real research. He had as much to do with "creating" it as you or I did.
Baseball evolved from rounders and other games.
Cartwright helped to codify early rules, but he hardly created it, either.

Answer 7

Credit is given to Abner Doubleday, but who knows?
