When Is The First Day Of Baseball?
Contents
It’s a question that every baseball fan asks every year. When is the first day of baseball? Here’s a look at the answer.
Introduction
The first day of baseball season is a sacred day for fans of America’s pastime. It signals the start of a new season full of hope and excitement. But when is the first day of baseball season? The answer may surprise you.
The answer depends on what level of baseball you’re interested in. Major League Baseball (MLB) generally starts its regular season on the last Sunday in March, but occasionally the first game is played on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. For example, in 2019, MLB’s opening day was March 28. However, in 2020, because Easter falls on April 12, MLB pushed its opening day back to July 23 to accommodate for the Covid-19 pandemic.
At the minor league level, Opening Day is typically April 9. However, like MLB, because of Covid-19, the start of the minor league season was pushed back to July 24 in 2020.
College baseball generally begins its season in early February, but again, because of Covid-19, the start of the college baseball season was pushed back to February 25 in 2020.
So there you have it! The first day of baseball season varies depending on what level you’re interested in, but it typically falls between late March and early February.
The History Of Baseball
baseball is a game played between two teams of nine players each, who take turns batting and fielding. The batting team scores runs by hitting a ball that the fielding team tries to catch with a glove before it hits the ground. The fielding team tries to stop the batting team from scoring by getting batters “out”. An out can be made by:
-Hitting a fly ball that is caught by a fielder before it hits the ground
-Hitting a ground ball that is fielded by a fielder and thrown to first base before the batter gets there
-Striking out
-Other ways
The First Game Of Baseball
The first game of baseball is usually credited to Abner Doubleday, who was said to have invented the game in Cooperstown, New York in 1839. However, there is no evidence that Doubleday ever played the game, and the real origins of baseball are a mystery.
The first recorded game of baseball was played on June 19, 1846, between the New York Knickerbockers and the New York Nine. The Nine won 6-5.
Baseball quickly became popular, and by the 1850s, there were hundreds of teams playing the game all over the United States. In 1858, the first professional team was formed, and in 1869, the first professional league was created.
Today, baseball is one of America’s favorite pastimes.
The First Professional Baseball Game
The first professional baseball game was played on May 4, 1871, between the Philadelphia Athletics and the Brooklyn Eckfords, at Brooklyn’s Excelsior Grounds. The Eckfords won, 6-5. Professional baseball grew in popularity thereafter.
