The only rules used at the beginning of Baseball were roughly these:
- there are two teams,
- an object is thrown towards the "batter",
- the batter hits it with something,
- the batter runs to different bases,
- the team not batting tries to tag the batter with the ball,
- the batter tries not to get tagged, and to get past all bases before going to "home" base.
From there, rules about who was in a team, what could be used to throw and to hit with, how many bases and how far apart they are, how many times you got to try and hit the object, how many times you were allowed to get tagged or out, etc. were all added by later groups at different times.
The rules that Cartwright introduced in 1845, which survive to this day, included the idea that three swings and misses -- three strikes -- results in an out. Runners would also be tagged by fielders with the ball to make an out, rather than having the ball thrown at them, according to Cartwright's rules. Cartwright also determined that the infield would be diamond shaped with the outfield continuing outward along the first and third base lines, distinguishing between fair and foul territory. These rules, however, were only the beginning. Committees made subsequent decisions on rules -- including during meetings of clubs in 1854 and 1857.
Abner Doubleday invented baseball so I imagine he invented the first rules. I know through the years they have changed as baseball has evolved, so it would be a combination of people now.
Alexander Cartwright wrote the basic rules of baseball and the New York Knickerbocker Club set the rules for the playing field

What is an organized baseball game?
A pretty vague question. Organized baseball usually refers to an agreed upon league of teams that play each other over the course of a year or season. You can organize a single game like an old timers game, a tournament of games or an entire season. There are agreed upon rules and usually a rule book, a schedule, impartial umpires, ground rules and even specific rules for mercy such as in little league and Knothole baseball. Unorganized baseball is referred to as sandlot baseball where there are no set rules, no umpires, there doesn't even have to be 9 players on each team.
