Originally created by an unknown person this game consists of nine players on each team. Unless you have a designated hitter. This abomination also known as the DH detracts from the purity of the game. Except for Big Papi. He's a beast.
History
The origins of the game are unknown, but "base-ball" or "base ball" was being played, under that name, during the Civil War:
- Captain Kimberly was an experienced and skillful player and base ball player and took the lead in inaugurating a series of games of base ball.[1]
- The air seemed full of heavy shot, and as the flew they could be seen as plainly as a base-ball in one of our games.[2]
