Some say baseball learned to run by watching the Irish play Rounders.
The game rests on a simple principle: strike the ball and run the bases before your opponents can stop you. It calls for quick legs and quick hands, in a balance that recalls both baseball and softball, filtered through Irish playing spirit.
Today Rounders stays alive across the whole island through clubs and championships organised by the GAA for every age, but its story crossed the Atlantic together with those who left Ireland, carrying their playing gestures elsewhere. A legacy that departed and returned again and again, changing name and shape without ever losing its origin.
