I do know that cricket was, and thus we evolved it into baseball.

The British actually have a sport called Rounders that is way more similar to baseball. I don't know if it came before or after baseball though.

The answer to the original question in my opinion is Football and Basketball. Soccer will never break through, because the best athletes go into football or basketball in the U.S. They are already too popular.
