Mark your choice on the answer sheet.
The origins of baseball probably stretch back to 1839 when Abler Doubleday, a civil engineer student, laid out a
diamond-shaped field at Cooperstown, New York, and attempted to standardize the rules governing the playing of such
games as town ball and four old cats, the ancestor of baseball. By the end of the Civil War, interest in the game had grown
rapidly. Over 200 teams or clubs existed, some of which toured the country playing rivals; they belonged to a national
association of "Baseball Players" that had proclaimed a set of standard rules. These teams are amateurs or semi-
professionals, but as the game waxed in popularity, it offered opportunities for profit, and the first professional team, the
Cincinnati Red Stockings, appeared in 1869. Other cities soon fielded professional teams, and in 1876 the present
National League was organized chiefly by Albert Spalding. Soon a rival league appeared, the American Association.
Competition between the two was intense, and in 1883 they played a post-season contest, the first "world's series". The
American Association eventually collapsed, but in
1890
the American League was organized.
