Welcome to my baseball card blog and card sales offerings. The history of baseball is interesting as it is believed to date back to the 1740s in England where they played a similar game called “rounders.” The word base ball is first seen written in the English book a Little Pretty Pocket Book by John Newberry. The first game in the U.S. was played in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1791. However, the first game played resembling its current modern form was played in Hoboken, NJ.
