Thompson's homer, for the lover of the game, is important for so many reasons. 1. It was the original "walk-off" before it became popularized in the late 80's. 2. It cemented the importance of winning the Pennant with the call as the Giants would lose the Fall Classic in 51. 3. It gives huge evidence to those who feel the greatest historical rivalry in the sport is Dodgers/Giants as this homerun and call is the most famous home run and home run call in the sport.

You act like that means something. What stimulates you, dosent work for everyone. Baseball is fun at times, but it's hard to change the fact that the NBA and NFL attract elites in large numbers. They charge insane prices for their games and people are more willing to play. I saw the earthquake during the As game, I used to mimic Rickey Henderson I wanted to be fast then I saw Griffey and said hes the best I ever saw. But I feel like based died when he became less relevant because all these stars doped. That visible stain kept permeating throughout the sport and its had its share of very ugly moments. Rosanne during the anthem, Pete rose though I think he should be in, the black Sox, Marge Shott and while other leagues have stigmas, they seem less memorable

Abner Doubleday had zilch to do with the creation of baseball. That is a myth. BTW, the Cincinnati Red Stockings' 69 game winning streak was ended by the Brooklyn Atlantics, who toured parts of the South prior to the Civil War, introducing the game below the Mason-Dixon line. Alexander Cartwright invented the scorecard and established the rules of the game we know today. He is buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn. The first stolen base was by a Brooklyn Atlantics player.

I love baseball but the narrator made a few blunders. In the 19th century a number of blacks played in MLB until Cap Anson of the White Stockings (Cubs not Sox) had the league kick them all out. Another error made by the narrator was saying the home run didn't exist in the dead ball era; ever heard of Home Run Backer who hit a total, if my memory serves me correctly, 6 homers in a season. HR's existed but were rare.

At some point in the 2000’s, a researcher from the USA, who was researching at the British Library in London, found a newspaper article from 1749. That article was about a game that was played in Walton-on-Thames, that was called baseball. It’s possible that there might have been previous occasions,but as far as I know, that newspaper article is, at present, the earliest known mention of a game called baseball. It’s possible that it was just a bunch of people who were fed up with rounders, tweaked it a bit, named it baseball,and here we are today.

Stick baseball has been around since the early 1800's. This game was first reconized or realized when kids used bats to hit rocks or balls in the streets. I'm tired of people saying that in 1839 that the first game was played or establised with bases. Are you kidding me? Some kids used posts to play stick ball as early as 1814 hitting rocks or a ball up in the air or playing a base game they called it instead of the name baseball being established later.

Ok, so get this. The age old question is, “Who invented the game of baseball?” Many people say it was this country or that country, or it was invented in this century or that century, right? Well, here is the best answer to date... The truth is humans have been swinging a stick at a stone probably since the age of the cave man. However, who created the concept of running bases in order to score (points) runs is what the real question is, and the answer is the Native Americans. The idea was stolen from them by the early Americans and slowly popularized until it became well known enough to establish it as an American sport. This is how and why it first became famous on the North American continent. Nobody else in any country was ever playing Baseball, instead they were merely playing Stick Ball. Lmao It’s true! Just compare it to other Native American sports and you will find it is indeed fitting.
@brian40194 жыл бұрын
The English bat and ball game Rounders, where runners run around to score points is similar to baseball, and is described as dating from 1485, predating American colonists. I thought Native American sports were more like lacrosse? There are also engravings from the 1300s depicting a game of "club ball."
@TripsandFeasts12 жыл бұрын
Baseball is similar to the English game of rounders, not the other way around. 8 miles south of Heathrow airport is a cricket field played on by the Walton-on-Thames cricket club. Events there in 1749 are greatly responsible for what is known today as baseball. If memory serves me correctly, research conducted there by a citizen of the USA sometime in the 2000’s brought these facts to life.

@paulbenoit20686 жыл бұрын
You're not the only (or even first) person to have noticed inconsistencies with the dialogue and the visuals. There are more inconsistencies than just that one, but there's also no video footage available from 1869, especially considering the oldest surviving film in existence is from 1888. At that point, I have a decision: either continue using pictures like a boring slideshow they show in school or trade off a little bit of accuracy to keep this video entertaining by putting in some video footage that can complement the dialogue well without causing a distraction. I chose the latter, and I think this video is better because of it. If it's too distracting for you to handle, then perhaps you could find another manner of obtaining information about baseball's rich history, one a little more to your liking - might I suggest trying an encyclopedia. It's not a failure, but instead a design decision. I'm sorry you felt like this small detail was too big an issue for you to overlook and you couldn't finish the video because of it.
