  2. Brief History of Baseball • Baseball evolved from the British game of Rounders, and is a cousin to cricket in that it also involves two teams that alternate on defense and offense and involve throwing a ball to a batsman who attempts to "bat" it away and run safely to a base. The first documentation of base ball is in 1838, but there are references to a game of base ball going back to the late 1700s. • The story promoted as the “invention” of baseball by Abner Doubleday, a Civil War hero for the Union, has largely been discredited. The first published rules of baseball were written in 1845 for a New York base ball club called the Knickerbockers. The author, Alexander Joy Cartwright, is one person commonly known as "the father of baseball." • Cartwright laid out rules for playing the game for the first time, and made one important change. No longer could an out be recorded by "plugging" a runner (hitting him with the ball). The rules required fielders to tag or force the runner, which is still the rule today.

  3. Fundamental Skills of Baseball • THROWING- Throwing is the most basic skill in baseball and softball. It allows the team to prevent their opponents from touching bases or even earning points or runs. • Pitching - Pitching is a skill that puts the game to play. It is performed by a pitcher, one of the key players in baseball/softball who stays at the center of the playing field called diamond. • Catching - This is a defensive skill used to receive a thrown ball and hold a base runner or batter from proceeding or preventing them from earning a point or a run. • Hitting/Batting - This is an offensive skill used to strike the pitched ball using a bat done to advance to the bases and eventually leading to earning a run or point. • Base-Running - This is a very important skill you need to master because it allows you to advance from one base to the other with full speed and agility safely.
