From Quiz One Plus One Equals One Sometimes

Answer: Baseball

Baseball is a sport that is going to be forever associated with the United States, because the game, as we know it, originated there. It is thought, though, that baseball grew out of an English sport known as Rounders, which has a vaguely similar format. The first recorded game of baseball was played in Canada. That took place in 1838. A couple of years later, in 1845, the rules of the game were formalised in a club in New York City. Those rules were known then as Knickerbocker Rules. One of the top playing baseball teams today is called the New York Knickerbockers but this is usually shortened to the New York Knicks.
