good question :)
I dont have access to dates, but its true most of the UK plays rounders, and
certainly baseball is derived from rounders.
A quick search of the net didn't come up with anything conclusive but
http://www.hickoksports.com/history/rounders.shtml says that a book (Little
Pretty Pocket-Book) mentions baseball in 1744.
