Was baseball invented by acident

Answer 1

It is believed that modern Baseball evolved from the English game of "rounders" in the first half of the 19th century. Alexander Cartwright of New York formulated the basic rules of baseball in 1845, calling for the replacement of the soft ball used in rounders with a smaller hard ball. On June 3, 1953, Congress officially credited Cartwright with inventing the modern game of baseball, and he is a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Game of baseball was derived from many popular games that preceded it like cricket and rounders, but baseball has many elements that are uniquely American. The Abner Doubleday legend is more of a myth, as to being the founder of baseball. But either way the game of baseball evolved into the game it is today, and was no accident. -Steven KeyMan
