== 1857 ''Laws of Base Ball'' == In 2016, experts verified the authenticity of a set of documents titled "Laws of Base Ball" written in 1857 by New York Knickerbockers president [[Doc Adams|Daniel "Doc" Adams]] after a discussion with executives of 14 other New York-area clubs. The documents established the rules of the game, including - for the first time - nine innings, nine players on the field and 90-foot basepaths. Cartwright was not a participant at the 1857 meeting, as he was living in Hawaii.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/15155678/laws-base-ball-papers-sale-establish-new-father-modern-baseball|title='Laws of Base Ball' documents dated 1857 establish new founder of sport|work=ESPN|date=April 8, 2016|access-date=May 9, 2016}}</ref>
