History+of+Baseball+by+Timothy

One of the first forms of baseball ever recorded was actually found in the 14th century. The game was called //stool-ball// (descended from the United Kingdom) where the batter actually used a stool to to hit a ball being pitched to him/her. The game was first played by milkmaids while they were waiting for their husbands to return from work in the fields. There were other similar games to baseball that were played such as //English rounders//, a Russian game called //lapta//, //cricket//, and a Roman game called //oina//. In America, baseball had many names. It was called town ball, base ball, baseball or just base.Though baseball was already created in the past, Alexander Cartwright is still known as baseball's true father. He formalized a list of rules for baseball that we still use today.
