Baseball, often hailed as America’s pastime, has a rich history dating back to the mid-19th century. Its origins can be traced to various bat-and-ball games played in Europe, but it was in the United States that the sport took its distinctive form.
Volleyball, formally called mintonette, is believed to be made in Massachusetts, the year of 1895, by William G. Morgan. The game was thought up as a combination of basketball, tennis, handball, and a little structure from baseball. The ball from basketball, the net from tennis, the handling of the ball from handball, and the innings, now known as sets, from baseball.
