Why, in baseball, do we run the bases counter-clockwise?

I’ve always wondered this and haven’t found out why. Who came up with the rule that we run the bases in a counter-clockwise direction? Wouldn’t you think, logically, we’d go clockwise? Does it have something to do with most batters being right-handed? Do other countries do the opposite?
