Abner_doubleday_first_day_cover_closeup_medium
I don't care what "evidence" you present regarding baseball's evolution over the course of time, I choose to believe that the game sprang whole from the mind of Abner Doubleday in 1839 in Cooperstown, New York. The image of the creator is seen here on a first day cover celebrating the centennial of his great work.
