Sometime in December of 189 l, Dr. James Naismith, a gym teacher at the YMCA College in Massachusetts was trying to keep his gym class active on a rainy day. He wanted a Springfield, vigorous game that would keep his students moving After rejecting a few other ideas because they were too rough or not suited for the walled-in gym, Naismith wrote out the rules for a game with peach baskets fixed to ten-foot elevated tracks Naismith's students played against one another, passing ball around and shooting it into the peach baskets, Dribbling wasn't apart of the original game, and it took a while to realize that the game would run more smoothly if the bottoms of the baskets were removed, but this game grew to be one of the most popular sports in America today. Can you guess which one?
