Aside from football and what it means to England, is there any other sport so connected to a nation's soul, culture, and history than baseball is to America? Much of the game has lent itself to our lexicon, colloquialisms, and even styles. Spalding. The Louisville Slugger. What great stories that provide faces and backstory to aspects of the game that I took for granted.
I first saw this in 2004 when I purchased the DVD set at HMV in Fifth Avenue in New York. I have since re-acquired a new box set that includes Burns' new work The Tenth Inning.
As they say, the word "fan" comes from "fancier" or "fanatic". I am one. And I love this game that I grew up with.
