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 first baseball game played under modern rules took place on June 18, 1846 in Hoboken, NJ. From the sportâs inception through today, there have been thousands of uniforms worn throughout all levels of the professional game.
