Who invented Baseball? Who Invented Baseball?
In reality, baseball evolved out of several different “bat and ball” games such as English Rounders, Cricket, and American Town Ball that had been around for centuries. But there is one man who deserves the credit for establishing the fundamental rules of the sport and for organizing the first baseball game. He is Alexander Cartwright.

Alexander was a member of the New York club Knickerbockers, a club of young businessmen who regularly played Town Ball to escape the confines of their office lives and get some exercise after work. In 1845 the 25 year old Alexander Cartwright and a committee from his club drew up clear rules designed to convert Town Ball into a more elaborate sport. He called it Base Ball. Cartwright wrote down the rules for Base Ball, and many of them are still parts of the game.

The first baseball game played under these new rules took place on June 19, 1846 between Cartwright’s Knickerbockers and another squad known as the New York Nine. The teams reviewed the Cartwright Rules before the game, and then began the competition. The New York Nine slaughtered Cartwright’s Knickerbockers 21-1.

Cartwright eventually moved to California in 1849 to chase the gold rush. On his journey across the country, he introduced baseball to every town he stayed along the way.
Gold rush was a time when a lot of people went to different areas in USA to search for gold. California 1848-1849 and Alaska 1898. 

He later moved to Hawaii and set up formal baseball leagues, which have been credited as the direct precursors of the Major Leagues.In 1953, Congress officially recognized Alexander as the inventor of modern baseball. Some baseball scholars now challenge this assertion, but to date, there is no proof of an earlier baseball game or an earlier delineation of the formal rules of the game. Unless and until such evidence is found, it should be accepted that Alexander Cartwright invented baseball.
