Baseball took on its familiar format of nine players per game and nine innings per game on this day in history, March 7, 1857. The game has evolved in many ways over the years.
The convention also secured 90 feet as the distance between bases; in earlier iterations of the game, distances were marked off by pacing with steps. "The appearance of permanence … is part of baseball's special appeal." — MLB historian John Thorn "With the success of the 1857 convention, the game became increasingly popular." — Baseball historian Eric Miklich "Considered by some to be the true ‘Father of Baseball,’ ‘Doc’ Adams was elected president of the first Base Ball Convention in 1857." — Eric Miklich Kerry J.
