MLB was National only in its inception... When are you counting the start of major league baseball?  If you use 1901, the 1st year of the American and National Divisions the teams are as follows:  \n\nAmerican - Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Athletics, Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians, Washington Senators, Milwaukee Brewers\n\nNational - Brooklyn Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, St Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, New York Giants, Cincinnati Reds, Boston Braves

The bunt was introduced into the game by Dickey Pearce of the Brooklyn Atlantics in 1866, but was not common until the 1880s, and was not an accepted part of baseball strategy until the 20th century

The strike of 1994 really hurt MLB and it's attendance. In 1998 when McGwire and Sosa were chasing Maris's single season HR record,  it brought fans back to the game. MLB commissioner Bud "The DUD" Selig didn't want to upset the flow of $$$$$ generated by the long ball, therefore, even though he knew what was happening, he decided to do nothing. It's only because of recent publications of books like "Juiced" and "Game of Shadows" Selig was forced to finally take a stand.

The New Deal, drawing heavily on the experiences of its leaders, reflected the ideas, and was influenced by the programs, that FDR and most of his original associates had absorbed in their political youths early in the progressive era; had absorbed while serving in the Woodrow Wilson administration; and had absorbed holding other offices in the 1920s.\n\nIn the United States of America, the Progressive Era was a period of reform which lasted from the 1890s through the 1920s, although some experts use the narrower time frame of 1900 to 1917. The reformers advocated the Efficiency Movement. Progressives assumed that anything old was encrusted with inefficient and useless practices. A scientific study of the problem would enable experts to discover the "one best solution." Progressives strongly opposed waste and corruption, and tended to assume that opponents were motivated by ignorance or corruption.

Alexander Cartwright and the Knickerbocker club of New York had a main play in the rules of baseball as we know it.  Which developed form a number of ball games including town ball and round ball, that were all like but not proteges of cricket.  The Knickerbockers and Carwright were responsible for the fair and foul lines, creating spectators, thought their rules differed from the modern ones, they were the first step in creating baseball.

Baseball is the American pastime because it is woven into the history of the United States.  Legends say it started back in the Civil War with Abner Doubleday.  Baseball saw the United States through wars, the Great Depression, the Civil Rights Movement, and so much more.\n\nThis quote from Field of Dreams sums it up better than I can put it into words.  It's one of my favorite quotes of all time.\n\n"The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again."

Baseball is thought to be a direct descendant of cricket, rounders, and town ball (which was much like rounders). The first explicit references to baseball appear to come from England. The earliest known mention of the sport is in a 1744 publication, A Little Pretty Pocket-Book by John Newbery. It contains a wood-cut illustration of boys playing "baseball" (showing a similar set-up to the modern game) and a rhymed description of the sport. Also, a British letter dating from 1748 by Lady Hervey describes how the then Prince of Wales diverted his time playing baseball.\n\nAnother early mention of the game can be found in an 1886 edition of Sporting Life magazine, in a letter from Dr. Adam Ford of Denver, Colorado, formerly of St. Marys, Ontario, Canada, who details a base ball game played in Beachville, Ontario, Canada, on June 4, 1838 -- Militia Muster Day.\n\nAlexander Cartwright had a hand in compiling and publishing an early list of rules in 1845 (the so-called Knickerbocker Rules) to meet the demands of the already popular sport, and today's rules of baseball have evolved from them.\n\nProfessional baseball began in the United States around 1865, and the National League was founded in 1876 as the first true major league, quickly producing famous players such as Honus Wagner. Several other major leagues formed and failed, but the American League, established in 1901 as a major league and originating from the minor Western League (1893), did succeed. While the two leagues were rivals who actively fought for the best players, often disregarding one another's contracts and engaging in bitter legal disputes, a modicum of peace was established in 1903, they began playing a World Series that year.\n\nCompared to modern times, games in the early part of the 20th century were lower scoring and pitchers were more successful. The "inside game", whose nature was to "scratch for runs", was played rather more violently and aggressively than it is today. Ty Cobb said of his era especially, "Baseball is a war!" This period, which has since become known as the "dead-ball era", ended in the 1920s with several rule changes that gave advantages to hitters and the rise of the legendary baseball player Babe Ruth, who showed the world what power hitting could produce and thus changed the nature of the game.\n\nDuring the first half of the 20th century, a "gentlemen's agreement" in the form of the baseball color line effectively barred African-American players from the major leagues (though not Native Americans, oddly enough), resulting in the formation of several Negro Leagues. Finally in 1947, Major League Baseball's color barrier was broken when Jackie Robinson was signed by the National League's Brooklyn Dodgers. Although it was not instantaneous, baseball has since become fully integrated.\n\nBaseball has often been a barometer of the fabled American "melting pot", as immigrants from different regions have tried to "make good" in various areas including sports. In the 19th century, baseball was populated with many players of Irish or German extraction. A number of Native Americans had successful careers especially in the early 1900s. Italians and Poles appeared on many rosters during the 1920s and 1930s. Black Americans came on strong starting in the late 1940s after the barriers had been lifted, and continue to form a significant contingent. By the 1960s, Hispanics had started to make the scene, and had become a dominant force by the 1990s. In the 21st century, East Asians have been appearing in increasing numbers.\n\nThe middle of the century led major league baseball to the West of the United States and also became a time when pitchers dominated. Scoring became so low in the American League, due to pitching dominance, that the designated hitter was introduced; this rule now constitutes the primary difference between the two leagues.\n\nDespi

Helping you out with your homework huh?  Well I will not make it 4 or five sentences long but will give you something to think about.  \nThe impact it has on the American history is it started the rebellion against taxation and the mother country.  The second thing is that Americans decided to govern themselves and form a new government.  It also lead to no one ruler will govern America, judicial system, legislative branch and the executive branch.  It lead to a revolt and to the rights of our civil liberties.

The Industrial Revolution influenced the economic and social life of present society because of the simple fact that it was considered a REVOLUTION. Because of the different advances in technology and ideology behind advancing in both education and science. The Industrial Revolution changed a great deal of things that has instilled a sense of wanting more and more today in all fields of science. The economy boomed because of faster production rate and easier manufacturing, and social life changed drastically from making things at home to going to department stores. Agriculturally, economically, socially, and ideologically... The Industrial revolution has influenced the way ALL countries today have tried to succeed in becoming world powers.\n\nFeel Free to take this... this is the "get a good grade but dont bore the hell outta everyone" answer

Socially: Everyone ignored the ban on alcohol and partied a lot.  Economically: The stock market crashed and the economy plunged into a depression.  Politically: People blamed Hoover for the lack of jobs and money and elected FDR.
