It was first originated from Chicago on Thanksgiving Day by George Hancock, 1887. The idea of the game began when George saw a man picked up a stray boxing glove and threw it at his friend, who later hit it with a pole. Suddenly he gets an idea and shouted “hey! let’s play ball!!” to his twenty friends in front of him. Then, he tied the boxing glove so that it resembles a ball, Chalked out a diamond on the floor and broke of a broom into half to serve as a bat. Hancock’s original game of indoor baseball quickly caught attention and in 1897, was the premier publication of the Indoor Baseball Guide. And now, after hundred years the game is still well known and being played widely across the world.
