When we broke away from England was Soccer a sport?
I do know that cricket was, and thus we evolved it into baseball.

and football is an evolution of rugby. the cambridge rules were drawn up in the mid 1800s but i bet people kicked a ball around and tried to put it through a goal throughout all of history

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.
