	Abner Doubleday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Doubleday was born in Ballston Spa, New York.
		Doubleday was promoted to major general of volunteers on November 9, 1862, and commanded 3rd Division, I Corps, at Chancellorsville, and took over corps command for a day when General John F. Reynolds was killed in opening of the Battle of Gettysburg, July 9, 1863.
		Although Doubleday was a competent, if colorless, combat general with experience in many important Civil War battles, the lore of baseball credits Doubleday with inventing the game, supposedly in Elihu Phinney's cow pasture in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839.

	Abner Doubleday and Theosophy in American: 1876-1884
		Doubleday joined The Theosophical Society in 1878, and the Founders' regard for him was such that Olcott issued a "Foreign Order" from London on January 17, 1879, designating him President ad-interim of the Society.
		All Doubleday received from India were copies of resolutions passed by the General Council of the Society in India, as well as developments in the rules and by-laws forwarded by the Joint Recording Secretary, K. Seervai.
		General Doubleday provided the discourse instead, held at Mott Memorial Hall in New York, and his statement that "the time is therefore propitious for us to unfurl our banner, with investigation, love of truth and free thought inscribed upon its folds," must have been encouraging, for another meeting was held a month later.

		Because, as Graves claimed, Doubleday had the boys form themselves into teams with eleven players on each side, and that four bases had been used in the game, Graves was convinced that he had been witnessing the actual invention of baseball.
		Doubleday, the gallant Civil War hero, had turned out to be a convenient figurehead for the commission, in their quest to give the game an all-American heritage.
		The Doubleday myth, which has never quite died out over the years, is still alive and well in the small friendly village of Cooperstown, where the local merchants do their best to cash in on the three to four hundred thousand visitors who flock there each year to visit the Hall of Fame.

	Abner Doubleday Invents Baseball
		Doubleday, popularly crediting with inventing the game, fought in the Civil War, rose to the rank of major general, and was buried in Arlington in 1893.
		The claim that the game was invented by the late Doubleday, who also won enduring fame as a Union general in the Civil War, was based on the dubious testimony of Abner Graves, a retired mining engineer.
		Ever since then, sports historians have repeatedly and futilely assailed the Doubleday account, arguing that Abner Doubleday never visited Cooperstown in 1839, that his diaries contain no reference to the game, and that the form of baseball he supposedly invented far too closely resembled the game as it was played in the early 1900s.
