Abner Doubleday
54 books1 followerA similar game to modern baseball predates American army officer Abner Doubleday, traditionally considered its inventor.
Abner Doubleday was a career United States Army officer and Union general in the American Civil War. Although Doubleday achieved minor fame as a competent combat general with experience in many important Civil War battles, he is more widely remembered as the supposed inventor of the game of baseball, in Elihu Phinney's cow pasture in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839. Even though considerable evidence disputes this claim and despite the lack of solid evidence linking Doubleday to the origins of baseball, Cooperstown, New York became the new home, today the national baseball hall of fame and museum in 1937.
