1857 CE

A baseball craze had hit the New York metropolitan area in the mid-1850s, and by 1856, local journals were referring to baseball as the "national pastime" or "national game".

A year later, the sport's first governing body, the National Association of Base Ball Players, is formed.

The first convention of sixteen New York City area clubs in 1857 practically terminates the Knickerbocker era, when that club privately deliberated on the rules of the game.
