The story that military officer Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839 is a particularly pernicious bit of American myth-making. Many baseball historians admit the story is patently false since Doubleday was at West Point when he would've been playing that legendary first game.
The history of baseball in the United States can be traced to the 18th century, when amateurs played a baseball-like game by their own informal rules using improvised equipment.owever, due to the 1994 Major League Baseball strike (which canceled the 1994 World Series), the new rules did not go into effect until the 1995 World Series. In 1998, the AL and the NL each added a fifteenth team, for a total of thirty teams in Major League Baseball.
