Americans started playing the game of baseball first in the early 1800's. In the year 1845 the first modern baseball field was created by a man named Alexander Joy Cartwright. Him along with the New York Knickerbocker Baseball Club created the first rules and regulations for the modern game of baseball. The first game recorded was in 1846 when the Knickerbocker's lost to the the New York Baseball Club. Below is a link for you to click on and view a picture of the Knickerbocker team.
