it started with 9 men who created a modified version of Cricket and Rounders. it was supposed to be a sport that wouldn't have players get paid but that changed somehow. these 9 men were all from cooperstown NY which is why the Baseball HOF is in cooperstown
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.
Truck driver Sal Durante caught the record-breaking home run. He tried to return the ball to Roger Maris. Maris refused, insisting that Durante keep it and try to make money off of it. Durante sold the ball to Sam Gordon, a Sacramento restaurant owner, who paid $10,000. Gordon later turned the ball over to Maris. The baseball is now on display in Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

I think it is Babe Ruth
Babe Ruth called shot BaseballThis baseball does not exist and if someone suddenly claims to have it there would be no way of proving that the baseball was from the 1932 "Babe Ruth's called shot" World Series game In fact baseball historians debate to this day if the "called Shot" event ever happened. The baseball would have to be accompanied with proper provenance A letter from a player, team, or League official would be acceptable. A letter from a fan at the game would not hold much weight if any. A Babe Ruth's 1933 All Star Game home run ball sold for $805,000. (The "called shot" baseball would have put this ball to shame)
He palyed Baseball....He saved Baseball..........

I know that a base ball can range from about 1000 to 15000 depending on the condition. I am sure it is worth more than a ball. It depends on the condition of the bat. 1 grand
This Babe Ruth 1933 All Star Game home run baseball sold at auction in 2006 for $805,000. I do not know if the ball was signed by the Babe. Either way there is only one ball and that is the value. The historic value of the baseball would over-ride the value of the signature.
It's because he was great at swatting the ball; home runs."Swat" is also a double meaning: "Swat" is also the name of an actual district in Pakistan (which would have been part of British India when Babe Ruth was active). At various times in its history, Swat's leaders were called Sultans. So, there were "real" Sultans of Swat in history, and doubtless a sportswriter with some sense of history and geography gave The Babe this enduring nickname.
