Ever wonder how the game of baseball evolved? You can learn how the rules of baseball, laid down in 1845 (many of which are still part of today’s game), became the bedrock of the game. You can learn how the game grew through the post-revolutionary war period through commercialization, industrialization, and urbanization. You can learn how the game expanded through Manifest Destiny, the Gold Rush, and the Civil War period to become the “National Pastime” by the mid-19th century. Does that sound interesting to you? You might like my book – “BASEBALL: The New York Game” – where I dive into all of this and more. #Baseball #History #AmericanHistory #NationalPastime #TheNewYorkGame #Education #NYSBaseballHOF
