Rounders was brought to America by British immigrants, and the game began to evolve into what we now know as baseball in the late 1800s. The first formal rules for baseball were written in 1845, and the game quickly began to gain popularity.

The Strategy of Baseball
Baseball is a game of strategy. At its simplest, the game pits two teams against each other, with each team trying to score more runs than the other. But there are myriad ways to score runs, and each team must decide which approach will work best for them given the situation. For example, a team might choose to sacrifice a player at first base in order to advance a runner to second base in order to score a run more easily. Or a team might choose to play “small ball” by bunting runners over and trying to manufacture runs with stolen bases and hit-and-run plays.
