Henry Chadwick, often referred to as the "Father of Baseball," wasn't the inventor of the sport itself. Baseball has roots that stretch back centuries, with various bat-and-ball games evolving over time. However, Chadwick's contributions in the mid-19th century were instrumental in shaping baseball into the sport we know and love today.
