Major League Baseball (MLB) declares professional baseball began in 1869, when the Cincinnati Red Stockings established themselves as the first professional baseball team. The MLB began as an amalgamation of several major leagues, whose first game was played, according to many, in April 1876 in Philadelphia, and it quickly grew into one of the biggest sporting organizations in the entire world. In 1939, the Baseball Hall of Fame opened in Cooperstown, New York, commemorating the game and its significant players.
