Who invented baseball?

[ProfessorGAC]

2. A Couple Points On This

The earliest parts of the game are covered WONDERFULLY in the Burns documentary during "The First Inning" which is a 2 hour piece that runs until, i think, the late 1800's. The Doubleday story is well covered and matches what is described in your post. Bunch of stuff about soliders playing baseball in their down time during the Civil War, and that sort of stuff.

Other point: That first game the Knickerbockers played against the cricket team, they got killed, even though they were playing by Cartwright's rules!
