The term "hardball" in the context of politics and strategy dates back to the late 20th century, notably popularized by political commentator Chris Matthews in his 1999 book "Hardball: How Politics Is Played, Told By One Who Knows The Game." However, the term itself has roots in Baseball, referring to a more aggressive style of play. In a broader sense, the concept of hardball tactics in negotiations and competition has been present for much longer, reflecting a more combative approach to achieving goals.
