The same way it's played now, minus the designated hitter and the manicured fields of today.The last change to the field of play was made in 1893 when the pitchers mound was moved from 50' to the current 60'6". The style of play has certainly changed since the end of the "deadball" era that was ushered in by Babe Ruth. The the game, however, remains the same.
Basketball was played much, much slower back when it began.
There was no official "shot clock" when the game began, so teams could hold the ball for a long period of time. Thus, there was no pressure to get a shot off. Many teams averaged only 70 points a game.
There were much less rules than there are in today's game. There was no three point shot, no three second violation, no restricted area, no five second violation, and so on.
Two words: Babe Ruth. He amazed people with his home run hitting skills.
15 innings were played because crowds were constantly wanting more play
