Based off of the two argumentive essays, I believe that Alexander Joy Cartwright is the actual inventor of baseball. One of my reasons for my beliefs is that according to Alexander Joy Cartwright, the Inventor of Baseball, "Doubleday... enrolled at West Point, some 150 miles away." As well as that being said, he never once mentioned creating such a sport in any of his journal entries. In Abner 's essay, it was arguing that he created baseball, but it doesn 't mention a diary once.

The ball was generally made of wood, deerskin, rock, or occasionally the head of an enemy.

One of them, Jean de Brébeuf, wrote about the game being played by the Huron tribe in 1636.
“Racial segregation plagued American society for generations, and sadly, during much of the 19th and 20th centuries, baseball was as segregated as America herself. ”1 However, in 1947, baseball and America was forever changed when Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby broke the color barrier in both the American and National Leagues. While there were many factors in the society that helped push baseball to tear down the barriers, baseball played a huge role in motivating the public to remove the color barriers.2 In the beginning days of baseball, some blacks were able to play professional baseball on white teams, but Jim Crowe laws stopped them from making progress.
