As a family member of Abner Doubleday I can openly admit that Abner Doubleday did not invent baseball it just became popular during the civil war at camp Doubleday a civil war camp. When shoulders went to other camps and played the game they would remark I learned it at Camp Doubleday. Several letters from camp Doubleday also mention learning the game at camp Doubleday.
now that makes quite a bit of sense Joshua Doubleday / including how rapidly the sport could spread via war camps, much like it did to Japan during WWII. Your family should step forward with some solid research about any connection Abner had with Baseball. You know we all want Truth, Justice and the American Way💪🏼🇺🇸⚾️
Then you must be very close to adult actres Korra del rio. She said in an interview that she wanted to be a general like her grate gradfathers father Doubleday. But now she take it like a homerun in the back.
I've always kind of just put Abner Doubleday inventing baseball up there with George Washington chopping down a cherry tree. Just one of those myths of American history that keeps getting repeated. Thanks for the video Simon and the *TIFO* crew.
Accept chopping down a tree doesn't exactly have to be a myth. It's a tree. I've chopped down plenty. The fall and are dead. Nothing mythical about it.
I came across a reference to baseball in a novel by Jane Austin. I was intrigued by this. I'm glad you've answered my (unasked) question. She was undoubted referring to a generic game rather than game with a particular set of rules.
Wow, I grew up in New Jersey but never knew that the "New York Knickerbockers" was originally the name of an early baseball team. I only ever knew the Knicks from basketball. Thanks!
HebaruSan is romanian game name oina invented in 1317 in romania. Romanian imigrants in 1800 is coming in usa with this game is national sports from romania.
Some would say the first recorded baseball game was in Beachville Ontario in 1838, or maybe even Surrey England in 1749, it all depends on how you look at it.
Kaedenn Someone types them during live broadcasts. Not sure how fast they type to do that, but I type about 120 WPM on type racer. Some people I know can type about 150-175, which is faster than most people talk. I'm sure fast typists just type them up live.
I read once that Doubleday wrote a standard set of baseball rules for the men in his division to use. The game was played by diffent rules in different states, which caused arguments and fights, bad for discipline. So he standardized the rules to prevent conflicts. But still there should be some documentation.
The very first ever game of baseball was played by the Knickerbockers against the New York Cricket team at Elysian fields. The cricket team won! There weren't enough Knickerbockers to make two teams so they asked the New York Cricket Club to provide one that they called the New York Nine
When the kids come home from school and spout a history nugget they learned in school and I say it's not actually correct, they look at me like I have three heads. Then we look it up and Bolivar brass they go back and discuss this with class and teacher. Then told they have to learn it wrong because that's the standard curriculum. I just tell them to spit back that info for the test but know it's not true. Just smile and wave boys, just smile and wave😅😅 The teachers are impressed but have to teach what they are given. Sad.
My dad did the same only I would always put the correct answer in the test and then argue as to why it was correct if it was marked wrong. To be fair the teachers here in the UK always looked it up and changed the mark, regardless of the curriculum.
Oooooooh! I have to call you out on poor researching or just miss speaking. Invented in 1839 2:33 but you mentioned 1939 to 1941 2:57 I thought as getting older that my ears and memory were going bad. I guess my senses are still working good for me. Poor research or just miss speaking as all current politicians do? Reference, 2:33 and 2:57 Don't worry Sir, just some good natured ribbin' as we call it here in the states. 😁 I always thought that baseball was stolen from the UK's sport of cricket.
Quality correction history lesson. I'd heard of the Hoboken games as organizing modern baseball rules but a simple evolution of old stick ball games makes sense. Quite impressed with an earlier Comment by Abner's descendent Joshua Doubleday who revealed his ancestor may have simply received credit since soldiers said they learned the game at Camp Doubleday. Makes too much sense. ❤️⚾️🇺🇸
Neither Abner Doubleday nor Alexander Cartwright created baseball, at least in its earliest form. Baseball's origins can be traced back to Britain in the 18th century, though it's doubtful a specific person could be named as creating it.
Baseball became very popular during the civil war. Both union and conderate soldiers played them while at camp and out in the field. I don't know why this is never mentioned. Oh, and if you study the civil war you will find out that Doubleday was not a skilled General or looked up to. He did do a decent job at Gettysburg when he took over after General Reynolds was killed in the morning of the first day.
Alternative facts are actually found all across history, the farther back you go the fewer sources you have to rely on, and the harder it is to determine how much those sources base on fact, and how much are just rumors or even just completely made up by the authors.
The term "Alternative Facts" should be changed to "Different opinions". Once I hear "Alternative Facts" I have a habit of ignoring everything afterward as B.S. This is despite the fact that your comment makes an excellent point..
@Diogenes D'Sinope The same can be said for literally any large group of people who believe anything that could have disastrous consequences if you don't listen to them. It's simple, really... you ask yourself, is this true? Yes or no. Can it be proven? Yes or no. What is the result if true and what is the result of false? Oh look, global warming would have THE most disastrous consequences, IS provable but humanity's involvement can also be seen if you look from the right direction, so you might as well stop trying to apply any time or effort in deciding whether or not it is true, because if it's NOT true then okay but if it IS true then OH BOY so you better just start working on a fix. Same thing with hell and any religion. ad infinitum.
Baseball evolved from a sport could Stool ball played in Curch Yards in England this was transported to America New York City in particular the first set of rules of the game of what we know as Baseball today where could The New York Baseball Rules that is still the base for the rules used today. Baseball was not invented like most sports it evolved from a more bssic form of the game. So basically Baseball has it's roots in The Church of England If you want to look at the true starring point for the game.
'Take me out to the ball game' was written by a guy who had never been to a baseball game and 'Dixie' was written be a northerner who had never been to the south.
Just because people hit balls with sticks before baseball doesn't make it not an invention, just like a toaster is a completely new invention even though people were toasting bread before it.
While Baseball may have been an adaptation of the UK game rounders, there was an attempt to import the newer American version. Indeed, in the area where it was played the modern football (soccer), stadium was named The Baseball Ground, in Derby , England, and was the home of Derby County Football Club, up to the early 2000's. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_Ground Although I have never visited the US, I have played both rounders (when young) and baseball, over a number of years when older.
Pittsfield, Massachusetts has the oldest written record of baseball in a note that talks about one going through a church window. It was called a "baseball" and the note was written in 1791. Simon, get your shit together. A source: www.pittsfieldlibrary.org/baseball.html
Regardless of who invented it or if it just came about on its own. It still is considered a true American sport. At least they threw out the rule if you get nailed by the ball you are out. The way some of these guys throw today it would really hurt to get hit by a ball from a professional baseball player.
@@joejack9263 the similar game was played by shepherds all over Vojvodina, it is still played in some villages in Banat and it is called Banatske Šore, and probably there is something similar elsewhere around Hungary and other surrounding areas.
It's sad that society always wants to find a single person to praise for a discovery/invention etc., when in reality one person seldom does it alone. They usually have a whole team that helps who seldom if ever are recognized for their work. I'm not saying always, but that's usually how it goes.
We need to perform research on the history of baseball. Who should we get? Researchers? Historians?... Nah, just a bunch of team owners and maybe a couple of players for good measure.
Coming from the Cooperstown area, any thing but the Doubleday story is wrong because pretty much the majority of our areas economy is from tourists for the hall of fame, and the area's baseball "camps" for kids.
At least your favorite minor league team didn't change their name to something stupid like in the case of the Jacksonville Suns, now known as the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. And be glad you don't have to be a fan of the Miami Marlins, something I don't say too proudly as that is one trying team to follow.

One of the biggest myths ever. So many individuals unrecognized like Doc Adams and William Wheaton who contributed heavily to the origins of baseball in the 19th century!
Because "Adam Ruins Everything" is generally about revealing the more complicated truth behind simple myths, including the very common "This makes us feel good about something in history" variety. This show is usually broader trivia.
And basketball and football are not unique inventions- they are merely versions of soccer because they are both played with a ball... The logic behind this premise is pretty weak. It’s silly to think that something can’t be an entirely new concept simply because it has influences. The Earth is a very old place- and many ideas are very old. It doesn’t mean that nothing new has ever been invented just because other vaguely similar ideas had already existed. But it is super popular these days to undermine anything America and the United States itself, so we shouldn’t really be allowed to have anything or get credit for anything. After all, we invented slavery, colonization, settlersplaining, fascism, tyranny and Twitter. So yeah, we should shut up, U.S.! We are a terrible country! Just ask all those amazing, well-governed, peaceful, prosperous counties in Europe! They sure showed us!
Now we have confirmed baseball is just British school childrens game Rounders, can we also let the yanks know that Basketball is just the schoolgirls game Netball and the Hosers have merely turned the British schoolgirls Jolly Hockeysticks game into Ice Hockey (but with the ludicrous amounts of armour much like American "football" is a very poor rip off of rugby, only with loads of protection gear and 10 seconds of game with 1 hour of advert breaks).
actually i think there are cricket grounds in the U S; don't know where, but i'm sure it's played at some country clubs, somewhere. also Aussie Rules football -which i like and follow- was being played on the West coast; it's played on a cricket field, so...
I guess I've never seen it played anywhere or heard of any cricket fields anywhere. I stand corrected. It is not played anywhere near me and we have polo grounds and a curling rink.
The idea of Baseball originated as a stickball game played among kids in any open area or rural field in the Caribbean between the late 1500s and mid 1600s as a form of entertainment to spend time playing in groups with other kids where exactly well is either in the dominican republic or cuba we still argue were it started first but is definitely one of those 2 countries. then after the idea was discovered by white American tourist it was brought back to the states to find investors to regulated and organized into leagues with some clubs in the US to make money out of it as family entertainment past time and recreation........

Why do TV subtitles lag so far behind the audio they're subtitling, and how do subtitles on live broadcasts work?
I think because on live telecasts, they're being manually typed up as the words are being spoken.
For telecasts that aren't live, like scripted shows, they're typed up in advance. If they still lag, it's probably a technical issue.
Kaedenn Someone types them during live broadcasts. Not sure how fast they type to do that, but I type about 120 WPM on type racer. Some people I know can type about 150-175, which is faster than most people talk. I'm sure fast typists just type them up live.
"Live tv" is delayed about 5 to 10 seconds or so do to subtitle input and if people cuss or show something inappropriate it can get beeped out

2 best baseball team names ever : Knickerbockers and Trolley Dodgers
Apparently the diary of an Englishman named William Bray is said to have the oldest mention of baseball being played in probably 1755.
My account was it came more from native Americans and Abner formalized the rules. Distances for bases, or 3 strikes you're out kind of stuff.
Now this is something to think about.

Rounders is a game for under-tens played in British schools. So it's exactly like baseball.
a nice cup of tea- l only played rounders (badly) at secondary school, thus was older than 10. Also it was only played by girls 😀 🇬🇧.
'Take me out to the ball game' was written by a guy who had never been to a baseball game and 'Dixie' was written be a northerner who had never been to the south.
