This week on Christories, we're talking about the history of BASEBALL!! 🙆🏼‍♂️⚾️ Baseball, America's national pastime, has a rich history that began in the mid-19th century. The game's roots can be traced back to "town ball" in the early 1800s, but it wasn't until 1846 that the first recorded baseball game took place. The formation of the National Association of Base Ball Players in 1857 marked the first organized league, and professional baseball emerged with the Cincinnati Red Stockings in 1869. The establishment of the National League in 1876 solidified the sport's professional status. Over the years, iconic moments like Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in 1947 and the legendary rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees have captivated fans. From the Negro Leagues to the introduction of the designated hitter rule and the impact of analytics, baseball's history is filled with milestones and adaptations that have shaped the game we know today.WHO IS YOUR TEAM AND WHO ARE YOU ROOTING FOR BABES?!🙆🏼‍♂️⚾️ 🙌SUPPORT THE SPONSORS TO SUPPORT THE SHOW! 👉https://bluechew.com/ PROMO CODE: CHRISTORIES 👉https://www.mintmobile.com/christories #ChrisDistefano #history #Podcast #comedy  Welcome to Christories where comedian Chris Distefano tells you about a time in history.
