Thank you, I appreciate it

Zack Prince people who say baseball is boring don't understand the game

Zack Prince To everyone who thinks baseball is boring just say "It's a smart persons sport."

Zack Prince true my friends play hockey and they say hockey is boring

Zack Prince I'll agree to a point but it's not entirely accurate especially about who invented it or where it was invented. Also I'm doubtful if it was the first professional sport for americans.

@DC PARODIES What is your point?

@DC PARODIES Read again what I said. I did not say Aaron hit 60 HR in a season. I said Aaron is the legitimate ALL TIME HR king. I did not say single season. Then I said Babe Ruth and Roger Maris remain the only legitimate players to hit as many as 60 home runs in a season.

Agreed 100%

There should at least be an asterisk in the record books.

It's called evolution..... If steroids were available back in those days, players would have used them as well!

I appreciate it

Not unique at all, it's rounders basically which predates it by hundreds of years 😂

@Jake MacHine omg that is so funny it did not do that to me lol

Yea, that's pretty crazy. Although seems more of a freak of luck kind of thing

I'd argue stealing home is a greater feat - just in the game of baseball, alone.

The fact that many of the best pro golfers have never had a hole in one tells you a great deal of luck is involved Any amature golfer can get lucky and nail a hole in one. There are not many human beings on the planet that are capable of hittin a home run against MLB pitching. There is no way average golfer getting a hole in one is more impressive that hitting a 98 mph fastball 400 ft. Your comment is silly.

I'd argue a Canadian not playing hockey is more impressive than golf.

But… golf is not a sport.

What’s the 360 apple cider tour?

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

John Harmon yes baseball is a great game there is a great reason they call it Americas pastime ,singingchef23

I love baseball and basketball but there’s nothing like baseball

@@singingchef23 Baseball is better.

I’m just here like: I hate sports but in here for 1: i need to pass a assignment and 2: hate comments are fun to read sometimes

@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C YOU WROTE THIS ON 3 OR 4 PAGES ALREADY LOL

@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C no I was making a joke relax dude, I'm sorry >.

@MAN UTD SOCCER 90 MINS OF BORING GAME 0-0.....🤣

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Let's all have a moment to thank this video, KZfaq, Google, and Copy and Paste XD

WashYourHands ikr they always play soccer

WashYourHands basketball is easier to play and you only need one thing A ball and a hoop

Well, here in Chicago, softball (low-pitch and fast-pitch) remains at least as popular in the neighborhoods as basketball. Leagues, uniforms, everything.

@@jazzmanchgo it's so cool to imagine walking to the park with your glove and joining in on a pick up baseball game

I think it matters where you live in America. I’m in California near LA and I can go to my sports park and play a game of baseball nearly every day the park is open. People just show up and pick teams

Thank you. I appreciate it

Why did they say he invented the game

@@evernechatman1590 He never said he did. I think some newspaper credited him with inventing the game after he died for some reason, perhaps because Doubleday had some involvement with the game.

@@evernechatman1590 the story about doubleday was made by the mills commission, who organized as a result of Al Spalding (of the sporting good company) to determine how baseball started. However, the commission excepted the account of an Agnes graves, a minor in Colorado, who claims to have lived near shuffle day when he invented the game. However, further investigation into this matter has revealed that the time in which Graves reported double day, as inventing the game, he would have been studying at West Point, in preparation for his military career, not living at his home in Cooperstown. He never claimed to invent baseball, and died while before the mills commission made the story Public.

stef renardus catch not caych

Scott Bowie it does

I wish some of these historical presentations would cover that. Most people are ignorant about it. They all seem to dwell on the racist parts

@@scobo4743 I think the issue is that most people see it as an adaption from cricket and not rounders where the game does come from. Not only that but it's the U.S.'s biggest export in sports (besides basketball), no one really wants to say it has its roots elsewhere that isn't the U.S.

Thank you

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks!

where did you learn all this? Not trying to be nosy, just curious

+Creeperslayerz Gaming Just like any project: did the research, made an outline, decided what points I wanted to hit and which ones were important, and then did the project. Some of it I knew off the top of my head, but other things I researched.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Yay! Glad it worked for you!

+Paul Benoit Thank you so much!

Thank you! I appreciate the comment!

100k and I would like to thank him for this as it is helping me with one of mine

Fred C. Wilson III stop being a nerd be grateful

The Phillies had a couple of dead ball era home run hitters. Sam Thompson and Cy Williams.

1740 to be precise. Why do so many Americans have a problem accepting this fact?

@@TripsandFeasts1 do you mean that law was 1740 instead of 1798?

@@allimone5400 I don’t believe it was a law, just people playing a game that became baseball. 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.

@@TripsandFeasts1 Accept this... 🖕👁️👃👁️🖕 👄

@@TripsandFeasts1 ⬆️Blah BLAH blah BLAH babbling bullshit BLAH blah BLAH blah BLAH from a babbling baboon BLAH blah BLAH blah BLAH!

Thanks, man

People have probably been hitting rocks with sticks since the beginning of time but I think theyre saying an establish organized sport vs messing around on the block

I love stickball btw

I didn't see it.

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."

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.

Correct. The only truly american sport is basketball, everything else is just a variant of european sports.

andiroid YT not true hockey is canadian and canada isnt european

'Hockey on ice' was being played in England in the 18th century, (there are paintings of it being played on the River Thames). The British brought it to north america with them in the late 18th/early 19th century. it was recorded in the diary of the Franklin expedition in 1825. Obviously the modern rules date from 1875, in Canada.

andiroidYT do you mean "american" or "North American" because basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith who is Canadian...and it was first formally played in Massachusetts.

+Tony Hall - Butt Hurt Brits try to lay claim to everything American.

Shut your face, dave.

Dave Mitchell yeah shut up make your own vid then

Keokuk had a major league team for 1 season 1880

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.

bluesky Hate to break it to ya bud, but video cameras didn't quite exist in 1869

Hey bluesky! Why dontcha blowsky me?

LIAM LIAMESQUE that is YOUR opinion. The GAMES are exciting.

you grow up with it

3 chirps and you're out............

I would recommend that you do a search on here on how to play cricket

jecos jecos- Not in the USA.

@@billsmith5985 cricket remains to this day a bigger sport around the world which baseball fans could dream of. Baseball is inherently just American. Outside it's not really that huge apart from few nations. Cricket comes second after football in most popular sport. Baseball has long way to catch up.
