    • Introducing Henry Chadwick: The Father of BaseballIntroducing Henry Chadwick: The Father of Baseball
      Baseball Athletes / Baseball TeamsHenry Chadwick (October 5, 1824 – April 20, 1908) was an English American sportswriter, baseball statistician, and historian. He was often called the “Father of Baseball” for his early reporting on and contribution to the development of the game. Another interesting fact is that Hoboken is the birthplace of baseball, well at least according to the wooden sign hanging in the Reserve Rooms of Amanda’s. The rules used to play the game today evolved directly from the rules set down by Alexander Cartwright for a game played in 1846 at Elysian Fields in Hoboken.  Required Skills If you want to try your hand at baseball, see if you have any of the essential skills needed to play the game like a pro right here. Throwing Throwing is an essential skill in baseball that requires coordination of the whole body. Each throw needs to be quick and accurate to hinder the opposing team from scoring. Balance, stability, strong arms, and perfect timing is vital in throwing a baseball. The player needs to efficiently control his body movement and maintain his center of gravity. Hitting The main goal of the players who hold the bat is to hit the ball and drive it away, from the fielders. Hitting the baseball hard enough, the fielders will be running after the baseball giving the hitter ample time to run from the plate to the first base. Confidence, hand-eye coordination, timing, strong arms, and good grip make a good hitter. Fielding Fielding requires strong arms as baseball requires a player to catch and throw the baseball all the time. No matter what a fielder’s position is, agility, good rate of motion, mobility, and leaping ability are vital skills needed to perform their tasks. Catching The catcher has the most physically and mentally demanding task compared to the other players. A catcher needs to know the game of baseball by heart. Catching is more physically demanding compared to other positions on the field. The catcher needs strong arms for catching, and to remain focused and the complete knowledge of the game. The skill that is often overlooked in a power game like baseball is base running. Mobility and speed are the crafts that need to be honed for runners....
    • How Baseball originated as a game called “rounders”How Baseball originated as a game called “rounders”
      Baseball Athletes / Baseball EventsBaseball is thought to have originated as a game called “rounders” in England. It gained popularity in the United States in the early 1900s. It has gone by many names in the past, including “town ball,” “goalball,” round ball,” and simply “base,” just to name a few. The brief history of baseball can be traced back to a young man named Abner Doubleday. He invented the game during the summer of 1839 in Cooperstown, New York. Who knew that Doubleday would become a Civil War Hero and baseball would gradually become America’s national pastime? The nature and background of baseball evolved from older bat and ball games. This was already being played in England by the mid-18th century. By the late 19th century baseball was widely recognized as the national sport of the United States. What is the Most Important Event in Baseball? Well, to start with it is, without a doubt, the World Series – the end-of-season championship of the US Major League Baseball, this is played in October each year. Next in line is the Premier12 World Championship — a new international baseball tournament that started in 2015. Third up we have the World Baseball Classic. This international tournament started in 2006 and is held every 4 years. Where did the idea of baseball come from? Baseball and the other modern bat, ball, and running games — stoolball, cricket, and rounders — were developed from folk games in early Britain, Ireland, and Continental Europe (countries such as France and Germany). Some fun facts about baseball The first World Series was played between Pittsburgh and Boston in 1903 and was a nine-game series. Boston won the series 5-3. The New York Yankees have won 26 World Series titles, which is more than any other team The importance of baseball Playing baseball is a great full-body cardiovascular workout.
