How did the rules for hockey change from 1900 to now?

The evolution of rule changes in hockey over the past 108 years could fill a book (and has). As a rudimentary answer, hockey in 1900 was played seven players to a side, not six, and played in two thirty-minute halves, not in three twenty-minute periods. No forward passing was allowed. Goaltenders were required to stay on their feet to block shots, and not allowed to drop to the ice. Offside rules and penalties were radically different. Hockey in 1900 was strictly an amateur game -- professionalism was not a factor. The rules of the game did not change overnight, but have been adjusted in small ways and large many many times over many years. See Related Links (below) for a couple of books that cover the evolution of rule changes in much more detail:

What exactly defines the modern era in baseball and who what when where and why is there this division in baseball history?

By baseball convention the "Modern Era" began in 1900, roughly when the rules and conventions were stabilizing. The American League was founded in that year. It was also the first year where home plate acquired its current pentagon shape. The strike zone was only defined in 1887, and the four ball walk appeared 2 years later. In 1893 the pitcher's mound was moved to its current location of 60 feet, 6 inches from home plate. So until very late in the 19th Century, the games rules were undergoing very significant changes, and Major League Baseball thus does not recognize records and statistics compiled in that era to be comparable to the statistics achieved today. 1900 was determined to be a simple, clean date to separate between baseball's formative years, and the game whose rules have been remarkably stable since then.
