Baseball is America’s past time and can be traced all the way back to the eighteenth century. The earliest mention of baseball was in seventeen ninety-one. The first team to play a game of baseball was the New York Knickerbockers, founded on September twenty-third, eighteen forty-five.

Baseball has come a long way since the eighteenth century game of a ball and stick. In the early years of baseball, to get someone out, they threw the ball at the player. Now the ball is to be thrown to a player and in the glove, then the player must tag the person to get them out.

In America, the major league teams are divided into the National league and American league, each divided into three divisions; east, west, and central. Major league teams play against each other in hopes to go to the World Series, the championship series of all the teams.
