The story that a Abner Doubleday invented Baseball in 1839 is easily proven to be complete hokum, and based ENTIRELY on the "recollections" of a person who died in an insane asylum. That person would have been five years old in 1839, when Doubleday was a first-year student at West Point Academy. There is no evidence that Doubleday left West Point that year, and getting leave to do so was almost impossible for a freshman at that time. Doubleday, in all his voluminous writings, never even implied he was involved in the development of any sports.
