when base ball (yes, it was spelled with 2 words) was first invented, you could not overrun 1st. they also had a bunch of wierd rules like you can catch the ball off the bounce, 1st, 2nd, 3rd had to play next to the base, the SS would switch sides of the field depending if a LHB was up, any ball that touches fair territory once was fair.
i would only assume that since they realized there were so many ground balls hit, that to give runners a chance they allowed them to overrun 1st.
