I own autographs of Ozzie Smith, Mark McGwire and Stan Musial (wow, I know). But honestly, my most prized memorable baseball thing is the hat, sweatshirt and pennant I have in honor of the 2006 World Champion Cardinals.

Question by SlimeZone.com: In what year did baseball originate?
I just wanted to the sports history and how old it actually is.

Best answer:

Answer by Manan T
The earliest mention of baseball was in a 1744 British publication. However the sport became a popular pasttime for kids in America in the late 1700′s and early 1800′s.

Even though it was popular before, the first, official, fully documented game took place on June 4th, 1838.
