How was fielding different when baseball began?
Americans began playing baseball on informal teams, using local rules, in the early 1800s. By the 1860s, the sport, unrivaled in popularity, was being described as America's "national pastime." Baseball was based on the English game of rounders. Rounders become popular in the US in the early 19th century, where the game was called "townball", "base", or "baseball". ChaCha!
