In which country was the sport baseball invented?
The story that Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown is easily proven to be complete hokum. The game evolved over many decades from the English game of rounders and the American game of town ball. The first WRITTEN rules of a game, in which batters are out by being tagged with a ball (instead of being hit by a thrown ball, a basic rule of town ball), was done in New York in 1845. These were called (surprise!) the "New York Rules." Within a couple of decades or so, most teams were playinga game that had evolved to being recognizable as what is played today.
Who caught Hank Aaron's record breaking home run?
Truck driver Sal Durante caught the record-breaking home run. He tried to return the ball to Roger Maris. Maris refused, insisting that Durante keep it and try to make money off of it. Durante sold the ball to Sam Gordon, a Sacramento restaurant owner, who paid $10,000. Gordon later turned the ball over to Maris. The baseball is now on display in Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
