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.
