BRACK: From baseball to the post office, lotteries and back to baseball

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL is now underway, do you know what the original way to end a game was? At baseball’s beginnings, the original “Knickerbocker” rules said the game would end when there were 21 “aces” or runs. If mismatched, a game could end quickly. If no one much scored, it could last forever. Soon they settled on nine innings, that is, if one team was ahead at the end of nine. The standard game has been nine innings since March 7, 1857.
