Baseball is the most popular sport in America. In a baseball game there are two teams of nine players. Players hit a ball with a bat and run around four bases. A player who goes around all the bases scores a run.
No one knows for sure where baseball came from. Some people believe it came from a game played by children in England. Others believe Abner Doubleday invented it in 1839. The first real rules were written in 1845 by Alexander Cartwright.
The early baseball teams were not professional. They played only for fun, not money. Later, businessmen realized that they could make money with professional baseball teams.
The first professional team was started in 1869. In 1876 the National League was formed. The American League was formed in 1901. In 1903, the first-place teams played each other in the World Series.
