The sport of Baseball is widely considered to be ´America´s Pastime´ and it has been for a very long time. There are not many things that are more American than baseball. The origins of baseball have been up for debate for a long long time. Baseball and other similar games to Baseball were developed from folk games back in early Britain, Continental Europe. Baseball is a great game that has been around as long as any other sport that there is. Early folk games that baseball derived from include games like Cricket, and Rounders. The basics of baseball consist of trying to get a hit or get walked to get on base. Once on base, the goal is for the other players to advance the runner from 1st base to home, and score a run. It is perhaps the simplest concept of all the sport. You git a ball with a bat and run around all the bases before the other team can get to the ball and have a chance at getting you out. This sport has been around for centuries and is very popular, some may even argue that it is the most popular sport of all time in America.
