You may have heard that a young man named Abner Doubleday created the game known as baseball in Cooperstown, New York, during the summer of 1839. Then he went on to become a Civil War hero, while baseball became America's beloved national pastime. Not only is that story untrue, it's not even in the ballpark. Doubleday was still present at West Point in 1839, and he never said to have anything to do with baseball. In 1907, a special commission made by the sporting goods magnate and former major league player A.J. Spalding used makeshift evidence-namely the claims of one man, mining engineer Abner Graves to come up with the Doubleday origin story.
But as it turns out, the real history of baseball is a little more complicated than the Doubleday legend. This just comes to show that fake news can really effect history without one fact checking a story.
I hope this answer helped, and good luck on your quiz or homework. I apologize if this answer turns out to be incorrect.
