The Abner Doubleday myth is enshrined in the hearts of Baseball fans due to its historical significance and the desire for a clear origin story for the sport. Despite historical evidence showing that Doubleday did not invent baseball, the myth persists as a romanticized version of the sport's origins. Additionally, the myth serves as a way to connect baseball to American patriotism and nostalgia for a simpler time in history.
