Baseball- The best game in the world!
Baseball is a sport that carries a lot of weight around our home. The boys almost eat, drink, and sleep baseball in the summer time. They have to because the whole family practically lives at the baseball diamond for over half the summer with practices and games. We have two boys involved with it this summer and it is already proving to be a busy baseball season. Oh, the fun though of watching those little fella's make a good play or smack the ball hard when batting! Of course you can't have complete fun without grabbing the all American food, Hot Dogs!
The History of Baseball
Baseball in the 18th Century
The history of baseball in the United States can be traced to the 18th century, when amateurs played a baseball-like game by their own informal rules using improvised equipment. The popularity of the sport inspired the semi and fully professional baseball clubs in the 1860s. By the following decade, American newspapers were referring to baseball as the "National Pastime" or the "National Game." The first attempt at forming a "major league" produced the National Association, which lasted from 1871 to 1875. In response to the shortcomings of the National Association, the current National League was formed in 1876. After a series of rival leagues were organized but failed, the current American League, evolving from the minor Western League of 1893, was established in 1901.
