    Extractions: for the Minnesota Twins Media Guide The Millers lasted a year longer than the Saints but were among four teams dropped from the league when Johnson finally reached his goal, turning the Western League (by this time renamed the American League) into a major league in 1901. Both the Minneapolis Millers and St. Paul Saints became charter members in a new minor league, the American Association, that began in 1902. Managed by Mike Kelley, who also played first base in an infield that included future Hall-of-Famer Miller Huggins at second, St. Paul got off to a good start, winning pennants in two of its first three years in the Association. The Millers had a rockier beginning in the Association, finishing seventh (out of eight teams) their first two years. But the Minneapolis club came alive in 1910. Under a new manager, Pongo Joe Cantillon, the Millers rattled off three consecutive American Association championships. Minneapolis and St. Paul played in the American Association for 59 seasons. The Millers ended up with the best winning percentage of all the teams to play in the league over that period. The Saints had the second-best record. In addition, the Minnesota teams shared the Association record with nine pennants apiece.

The earliest known mention of baseball in the United States is a Pittsfield, Massachusetts bylaw banning the playing of the game within 80 yards of the town meeting house. The first team to play baseball under modern rules were the Knickerbockers of New York City . The club was founded on September 23 , as a social club for the upper middle classes, and was strictly amateur until its disbandment. The club members, led by Alexander Cartwright , formulated the "Knickerbocker Rules", which in large part deal with organizational matters but which also lay out rules for playing the game. One of the significant rules was the prohibition of "soaking" or "plugging" the runner; under older rules, a fielder could put a runner out by hitting the runner with the thrown ball. The Knickerbocker Rules required fielders to tag or force the runner, as is done today, and avoided a lot of the arguments and fistfights that resulted from the earlier practice. Writing the rules didn't help the Knickerbockers in the first competitive game between two clubs under the new rules, played at Elysian Fields in

Rather, in the 1840s Alexander Cartwright of the New York Knickerbocker Club standardized many of the features and field dimensions still in use today. It is widely thought that the first game of modern baseball was played by the Knickerbockers in the fall of 1845 in a park called Elysian Fields in Hoboken, N.J. Sportswriter Henry Chadwick wrote (1858) the first rule book, and though the rules continue to change by small degrees, by 1900 the game was essentially that of today.

    Extractions: Origins Although no knows for sure how baseball started, the origins of baseball most likely has roots in the British game called rounders. In the earliest days, the American version of rounders was known as 'Town Ball'. Rules varied from town to town and there was no widely accepted way to play. The slow evolution of rounders to today’s game of baseball, as we know it now, became evident in 1845 when Alexander Cartwright published the first set of rules. Several of these rules are still used in baseball today. During the early 1800's the game of town ball was played everywhere in America. Town ball started as a schoolyard game for children that eventually grew into a sport for adults as well. The rules of town ball were made up by the locals of each town and varied widely from one location to another. In formal town ball play, wooden pegs were used for bases . In informal play, rocks or anything that was available were used for bases.
