Baseball - Its Rules & History - 28 Vintage Books on CD The ULTIMATE collection for Baseball fans, 29 vintage history and rule books on North Americas Favorite game! All published on one GIFT QUALITY CD. Evolving from older bat-and-ball games, an early form of baseball was being played in England by the mid-eighteenth century. This game and the related rounders were brought by British and Irish immigrants to North America, where the modern version of baseball developed. By the late nineteenth century, baseball was widely recognized as the national sport of the United States. Baseball on the professional, amateur, and youth levels is now popular in North America, parts of Central and South America and the Caribbean, and parts of East Asia. The game is sometimes referred to as hardball, in contrast to the derivative game of softball.
