BASEBALL?? How'd THAT Happen?? The "stick and ball" games prior to1845.

Baseball, the best game of all and the most difficult to play at the highest levels.  And I prove it without a doubt.  A short analysis of a routine major league pitch is all that is needed but a bit of icing on the cake adds to the proof.   While there's no doubt about it, I couldn't help but wonder where did it all come from? Who decided what?  Civil War? What Civil War?  There's been a lot written, but not so much from a common sense direction. So, in the first of 6 episodes we will look at what happened in the early 1800s up until 1845 and what impact it has on today's game.  This episode will take a look at the games that slowly but steadily evolved into baseball as we know it.   This is a look at the "stick and ball" games on the East Coast leading up to the year 1845.
