BASEBALL SPEAKERS
As timeless, simple and sweet as apple pie, baseball is by far one of America’s favorite pastimes. The game has been played by thousands of athletes throughout the past century, each living through amazing stories of triumph and glory of their own. As a result, former and present baseball stars are excellent sources of inspiration and knowledge about the drive to succeed. Major League Baseball scores, in particular, remain one of the most popular sources of intrigue for sports fans.
The game of baseball as we know it today originated during the mid 19th century, during which the sport became popular in the New York City area; the question “When did baseball start?” is not an easy one to answer, however, given that the sport was derived from several sports traditions. Shortly after, a variety of leagues formed to encompass the many professional and semi-professional teams that cropped up during the beginning of the craze. As for who invented baseball, ask any two historians of the sport and they’ll dispute the story. However, the game likely developed out of an English game called rounders. The tradition and legacy of the game has continued to present day, with Major League Baseball forming the national organization that binds together the incredible athletes who excel in the sport.
Endlessly famous baseball players, such as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, “Shoeless” Joe Jackson and other legends now inhabit a nearly mythical realm of stories and statistics, pioneering the way for future players. Furthermore, the sport has overcome many of its racial barriers, having originally excluded black players from the game. Now, participants from countries throughout the world come to the US in order to attempt to reach the stardom of those original players. Additionally, the Baseball Hall of Fame, located in Cooperstown, NY, now commemorates the history of the sport and indoctrinates its greatest players into timeless memory. A testament to how popular the game is today, it continues to be in the spotlight of the media, with pundits annually debating about baseball trade rumors, Major League Baseball scores and other points of interest related to the game.
