Although little was recorded, Olympic baseball first appeared in 1904 St. Louis. Eight years later in 1912 Stockholm, a American team played against host Sweden, winning 13-3. In 1936 Berlin, two American teams played each other. The 1952 Helsinki event was a modified form of the sport, Finnish baseball, played by two Finnish teams. Australia played a one-game exhibition against the United States in 1956 Melbourne and Japan did the same in 1964 Tokyo.\n\nTom G is also correct here.  In 1992 the IOC changed the staus of baseball to an official event but it started in the Olympics in 1904 but not played every 4 years per the Olympic standard.

I always use wikipedia as one of my first stops when researching a new topic.  Here is wikipedia's site on Baseball:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball\n\nThey have a few diagrams, but the exact date that baseball was invented will be hard to come by, here is wikipedia's description;\n\nAlthough the origins and evolution of the various bat-and-ball games are murky, baseball is primarily an American invention. However, many believe that it originated as an adaptation of the game of rounders, and was also influenced by the rules of cricket."\n\nAnother site you might find usefull is the 'about.com' site:\n\nhttp://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blbaseball.htm\n\nIt seems to be the general consensus that Baseball was derived from the game 'rounders', and it's exact invention date is not known.  Abner Doubleday was mistakenly given credit for inventing the sport, but it is likely that he is not the true inventor.  This site has a pretty good description:\n\nhttp://www.historybuff.com/library/refearlybase.html\n\nThis is what this site says:\n\n"Tom Heitz of the National Baseball Library in Cooperstown, New York, said in a phone interview recently that the Hall of Fame recognizes September, 1845 as the time when the rules of the game we know as baseball were first set down. They were adopted by the New York Knickerbockers..."\n\nThese site may be a good starting point for getting the information you need.

162 per team in Major League Baseball\n\nThere are currently 30 teams in the MLB.  Since each game is played by exactly 2 teams assuming there are no rainouts that are not made up or forfeited games you would multiply 162 games per team by 30 teams and divide that product by 2 teams per game and even though the unit comes out to teams it is really games.\n\nThere are a total of 2430 games played in a regular season of the MLB.\n\nAny regular season ties that require a playoff will have that playoff game count as a regular season game.  So once in a while there are 2431 or 2432 games.\n\nIn 2005 there were 2430 regular season games played.\n\nIn 1995 the teams played a 144 game schedule due to a late spring training that was a result of the previous year's strike\n\nThe last year of 154 games per team was 1960.  That year there were 16 teams in MLB so that year there would have been a potential for 1232 games.  I manually counted them for you and came up with: 1232, they played all the regular season games that year.

The World Series came from the New York World newspaper during the 19th century when Major League Baseball was started, because they owned the rights to it, it was call the New York World Series, then later shorten to the World Series.\n\nTry using another way to put down Americans, 'cause this one seems a little invalid now doesn't it---okay now I'm getting a little arrogant, he he.

The first professional league was called the "National Association", and it was just that...an association of players, rather than a League of "Clubs".  This Association lasted from 1871-1875.\n\nThe Association gave way to the National League in 1876, and the N.L. is considered to be the first "Major" league.\n\nOther organizations that were considered "Major Leagues" during the 19th Century included:\n\nThe Union Association 1884\nThe Players League 1890\nThe American Association 1882-1891\n\nThe 20th century saw the emergence of the American League in 1901 (it actually existed in 1900).\n\nAlso, the "Federal League" operated in 1914 and 1915, and this is also considered to be a major league.... \n\nThe statistics of players who played in these leagues are all included in their career totals, and recognized by Major League Baseball, with the exception of the National Association 1871-1875.\n\nThe National Association had a very erratic schedule and because it was really not operated very well, and good records were not really kept, present-day Major League Baseball does not officially recognize the statistics of players who participated in this league. Cap Anson was probably that League's biggest star.\n\nThe status of the Union Association as a major league is also questionable, due to the fact that there was only one good team (St. Louis) and the rosters were pretty much a revolving door, with players moving freely between teams....contracts apparently didn't mean much to these people.\n\nAlso, whole teams dropped in and out of that league...  It was not a well run organization at all
