They have more rulesMore people playThere are more teamsPeople are more interested in playingMore people watch Basketball than they did before.The WNBA was invented.

Answertheres been many changes since the invention of basketball. some guy from the university of Kansas came up with the game of basketball. it started out as a wooden bucket and some socks. he first came up with just trying to get the socks into the bucket but then he thought it was to much of a hassel to get them out everytime he got them in, so her cut out the bottom. to day instead of a bucket we have a iron rim that's 10" in the air with a nylon net connected to it as you've seen befor im guessing. there are some rules today that they use to not have and one huge difference is the 3 point line which wasn't in use until about early 90's.

Baseball has become a lot safer, with the new bats, helmets, rules, and skill (so pitchers don't hit batter). As you can see, the MLB has gotten a lot harder, with a lot more skill. The league needed to help keep safety first.

Just like any other game, as people were bored, they tried to think of fun things to do. It has been passed on for generations and played differently, but it is now a major league sport and is set for rules.

There have been many changes to the game of baseball since its beginning in New York City in the the 1850's:

  • Baseball in the past had lower scoring and pitchers.
  • There was more focus on an "inside game" and a "scratch for runs" in the past
  • In 1867 African Americans were barred from playing baseball in the newly formed National Association of Baseball players. Many "Negro Leagues" were formed as a result. In 1959 the Boston Red Sox integrated a black player and the ban soon ended.
  • The shape, size and composition of the baseball has been regulated and the baseball can now travel farther when hit.

Baseball today is much more commercialized than in the past. Also, in the past it was played mostly for enjoyment, today it is also played for fame. There is also more steroid usage today.
