New Insights on the Origins of Baseball

An 1857 document (called "Laws of Base Ball") shed important new light on the history of baseball. Among other things, it was definitely not invented in 1960 by Alexander Cartwright. Of course, baseball has an even early U.K. history, and I am not talking about cricket or rounders.
