American football evolved from rugby. It was invented at Harvard University, where in 1874 the first game was played between Harvard football team and McGill University rugby team. The American football rules are easy: the team with the ball has 4 attempts (downs) to move by at least 9.1 m in the direction of the goal net. If after the 4 attempts, the team cannot move forward, the ball goes to the opponent. Professional teams are composed of up to 45 players, creating defense, attack, and throwing groups.
It is all different in baseball, as it is more a team game. The team plays in the defense, and there are nine people on the field. The field has a look of a circle. It is divided into two areas: a square internal field and the external field. The attacking player starts playing at "home"(The fourth base). On the field there are first, second and third bases, and there has to be a defender next to each of them. The pitcher throws the ball, standing on a raised platform in the center. The batter has to hit the ball and then run through all the bases and return at “home” to get points. Baseball was evolved from cricket. In 1845, Alexander Joy Cartwright formulated the rules of baseball. The first official game was held in 1846 in New Jersey, which gave a start to the National League in 1876, and the American League in 1903.
