Why was the myth of Abner Doubleday inventing baseball created and why did people believe it?
The myth of Abner Doubleday inventing Baseball was created in the early 20th century when the Mills Commission sought to establish a patriotic origin for the sport, linking it to American values and identity. This narrative was appealing in a time when baseball was becoming America's pastime, and Doubleday, as a Civil War hero, provided a romantic figure to elevate the game's status. Many believed the myth due to the lack of documented evidence on baseball's true origins, combined with the desire for a singular, heroic narrative. The story was widely disseminated and became ingrained in popular culture, despite later evidence showing that baseball evolved from various bat-and-ball games over time.
