More Fun Facts About Baseball

Are you always ready to learn more about the sport dubbed America’s favorite pastime? If so, we can satisfy your curiosity with the following fun facts (that may come in handy at the next trivia night!):

1. Baseballs used per game
On average, a single MLB game uses up between 90 and 120 baseballs! That means a single baseball generally lasts between 6 to 7 pitches—which just goes to show why each club must have 90 baseballs on hand for each game!

2. Team trade
Players often get traded between baseball teams, but in 1957, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs did more than that—they traded their entire minor league teams, each comprising a 25-man roster. Both teams wanted to change things up and decided to start over completely!

3. The first MLB team
The Cincinnati Baseball Club (also called the Cincinnati Red Stockings) was the first MLB club to be founded. It was established in 1866 and played against other ball clubs at the Union Cricket Club Grounds.

4. The biggest baseball stadium
Currently, the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles is the largest baseball stadium in the United States, with a seating capacity of 56,000.

On the other hand, Fenway Stadium (home of the Red Sox) is the smallest MLB stadium, with around 37,000 seats. It’s also the oldest MLB stadium in the United States!

5. America’s Favorite Pastime
While baseball was given this iconic title because of its popularity and cultural significance in the United States, it’s popular in other countries, too, including Canada, Japan, Mexico, Cuba, and Australia.

6. The first baseball game
The first recorded baseball game occurred in 1846—between the New York Nine and the Knickerbockers Club of Hoboken, New Jersey. They used the modern rules of baseball created by Alexander Cartwright.
