A brief history of Baseball
by Regan Shaors
http://www.fleerbaseball.com

The beginning of baseball is usually traced to early
nineteenth century with the formation of the first baseball
clubs in 1845. Therefore, even though technically baseball
came into existence around the early 19th century, it's
probably been there a lot longer. In 1845, an Englishman
named Alexander Cartwright laid down the first list of rules
for what is now called baseball. Many of Cartwright's rules
are still applicable in baseball today.

A group of amateur players formed the first baseball league
in 1958. It was called the National Association of Baseball
Players. The National Association of Baseball Players began
charging admission to its baseball games in their very first
year.

The year 1868 saw baseball hitting a new summit. The
National Association of Baseball Players saw the coming of
delegates from over a 100 clubs across the country. The end
of the Civil War saw the game being introduced to the other
parts of the country and everywhere it managed to enamor the
people.

In the beginning of the twentieth century, the American
League of baseball was formed and it started playing in
1901. The game of baseball was still very much a game of
strategy. It depended on bunting, base stealing and contact
hitters. However, with the invention of the cork centered
baseball, things changed. Now, the new baseball allowed for
more home runs. This took the popularity of baseball to
dizzy heights. As a natural consequence the cost of
admissions also soared.
