In 1839, in a small town of Cooperstown,NY, 

a group of kids start playing a game that has 

something to do with hitting baseballs, and 

running bases. This game starts to become 

popular and other people start playing it.

In 1869, a group of men start the MLB, also known as the 

Major League Baseball. And they have even made the first 

competitive baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings.

The 1920's was a good time in the u.s.a. The 

war was over, and more baseball teams 

started to form. And at that time, the 2 best 

baseball players in history playing, Babe Ruth, 

and Lou Gerigh. And with these 2 players, the 

New York Yankees were winning world series 

games like you wouldn't believe.

In 1936 a year after Babe Ruth and Lou Gerigh 

stopped playing baseball, the yankees 

expected to have a bad season. But the 

yankees signed Joe Dimaggio. He would start 

on his first major league game in 1936. While 

playing in the minor league, he hit 36 home 

runs, 43 triples, 40 doubles, and 66 singles 

with a batting average of .457. Turns out, the 

Yankees were not going to have a bad season. 

 The majors was great for Dimaggio. He hit 

lots of home runs. And on the top of that, he 

had a hit streak of 56 hits. The New York 

Yankees were not over yet.
