|Description=<p>America&rsquo;s national pastime since about 1860. Writing about rounders in 1898, Gomme mused that &ldquo;An elaborate form of this game has become the national game of the United States.&rdquo; The term &ldquo;baseball&rdquo; actually arose in England as early as 1748, referring to a simple game like rounders, but usage in England died out, and was soon forgotten in most parts of the country. The term first appeared in the United States in 1791.</p>
