    About this ebook

    Baseball inspired millions of people in the United States. It
    evolved from the old bat and ball games which used to be
    played in England during the 18th century. The immigrants
    who came to settle in North America were the ones responsible
    to bring this game to the Americans. Eventually they came up
    with the modern version of the game and by the end of 19th
    century baseball was being recognised as the National Sport of
    US. The first recorded American reference of baseball in US
    traces its way back to the year 1791, which was an ordinance
    passed in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The uproar created by the
    cheering crowd was the reason on the game being banned
    from being played anywhere near 80 yards from the town
    meeting house.
    Later in the 19th century the growing racism got the good of
    the sport. Things got worse and eventually ended by the first
    black baseball club called the Cuban Giants. Later in the year
    1920 the Negro National League was established. The game
    war is on since then and there have been several popular
    teams. The Yankees dominated them all though.
    The game saw an evolution over the years, from where it
    began, as a game which was the heart of the people and then
    media, marketing, agencies all came in and changed the
    purpose of the game all together. It became more of a higher
    brand and more popularity thing.
    This eBook discusses about the history of baseball and how it
    evolved over the years to gain its place in the hearts of the
    people who so passionately play or watch the baseball games.
