What this episode covers

To most people, baseball is as American as apple pie or Independence Day. Most written records state that the first baseball game in history was played at the Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey, on 19th June, 1846, between the New York Nine and the Knickerbocker Baseball Club.
