Special Feature: Sports in History
Sports have been around for at least 3,000 years. So many early games involved sparring and throwing various objects, from rocks to spears. So many of these sports were played because they were meant to prepare people for war or training as hunters.
When the first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC, the Ancient Greeks introduced traditional sports. This included foot and chariot races, wrestling, jumping, and discus and javelin throws.
It’s impossible to pinpoint the exact beginning date of organized sports. Sports have always been a part of children’s play, but one can only speculate about sports development as autotelic physical contests for adults. It’s not clear from prehistoric art whether the hunters depicted were acting out of grim necessity or with the joyous abandon of sportsmen when they pursued their prey.
However, it is inevitable that hunting soon became an end in itself—at least for royalty and nobility—as evidenced by the wealth of literary and iconographic evidence from all ancient civilizations. There is evidence that ball games were played by ancient cultures as diverse as the Chinese and the Aztecs, too. If ball games, like the Japanese football game kemari, were contests rather than noncompetitive ritual performances, then they were sports in the strictest sense. Furthermore, it is clear from Greek and Roman antiquity evidence that ball games were not just contests but enjoyable pastimes, like those advocated by the Greek physician Galen in the 2nd century CE.
Cricket: In the late 16th century, in the southeast of England, cricket was invented. This sport became a national pastime in the 18th century, and it spread around the world in the 19th and 20th centuries. To create a grip for the modern cricket bat, an inventor in England in 1853 created the prototype using a willow blade, and a cane handle covered in rubber strips and then tied with twine. (The longest cricket game ever recorded lasted nine days in 1939.)
In 1845, Alexander Cartwright invented the baseball field. Members of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club in New York, which Cartwright then led, created the first set of regulations that have come to define modern baseball. Next, George Hancock invented softball, a form of indoor baseball.
