Baseball
The origins of baseball are obscure; it is often assumed that the national pastime of the United States evolved from the English children's game of rounders or "four-old-cat." There is, however, is an image of a game that contains the elements of baseball and is called by that name, published in an English children's magazine of 1760. Source: Library of Congress
