When Baseball Began

The history of baseball can be traced as far back as the 1300’s, surprisingly to places such as Russia and parts of Europe. Baseball can be traced back to the 1700’s here in America to informal games that were played much more aggressively with few rules and even fewer rules regulating the equipment that could be used, especially the bats used for hitting. The baseball bat had no one model. Men used homemade baseball bats that were sometimes long, short, heavy, or even flat. This seemingly simple tool would not be perfected for a while. The earliest rules of baseball set by an organization were implemented in 1845 by the amateur New York Knickerbockers. This was a team that was created as a social club for the upper middle classes of New York City. Alexander Cartwright was the club leader and is the person credited with being the founder of baseball, which is a common misconception to have been Abner Doubleday. The Knickerbockers were the first to play under the ‘force out’ rules of baseball and were no longer able to get a base runner out by hitting or ‘plugging’ him with the ball. In 1859, the rules finally set restrictions on the size of the bat. Baseball bats were now being limited to 2.5 inches in diameter. Ten years later a rule stating that the length of a baseball bat could not exceed 42 inches was set in place and that rule has remained the same until today. Although, there are no Major League ballplayers using a bat anywhere near that length. By 1890, the rules regarding a baseball bat became much more specific stating that a bat had to be round and could no longer be sawed off; this was shortly after the first American bat making company opened up shop. Pete Browning was a player on the hometown Louisville baseball team in 1884. Attending one of the local ballgames, then 17 year old John Hillerich, who was a wood worker for his father, watched Browning break his favorite bat during a ballgame. After the game, Hillerich went home to make a replacement bat out of white ash lumber for Browning. The next day Browning went 3 for 3 causing that bat to become known locally as’ the Louisville Slugger baseball bat‘. Word traveled quickly of this new innovation and soon after people were paying the father and son wood workers to make more. The Hillerich’s started making baseball bats under that growing Louisville Slugger name. Honus Wagner was the first player that was paid to allow his name to be engraved into the bat which is still done today. Their bats have always been top quality and have basically remained the same over time, but are lighter weight and have thinner handles nowadays. Louisville Slugger baseball bat reviews are normally very favorable by comparison to other baseball bat reviews. By popular demand ‘Louisville Slugger’ has been in business for good.

The Hitting Tee will Improve your Swing

Hitting off of a tee is excellent practice for your swing and it doesn’t demand help from anybody else but you. Of course, the objective for this drill is to get the baseball bat from a comfortable resting point to the point of contact as quickly and as accurately as possible.
