Features: Olympic Series. The history of baseball played by Americans can be traced back to a game played by ancient Egyptian shepherds 4,000 years ago! This sport is very popular in Europe, especially in the UK. During the game, people use a bat to hit a ball and then run to the bases symbolizing safety. When European colonists sailed to North America, they also brought this sport with them, which quickly became popular in the United States and Canada.
