A FEW WORDS ABOUT Recreation & Sports : Baseball CATEGORY

Baseball used to be just the great American pastime, but in the last few years it has become the national passion of many other countries as well. Other countries such as Mexico, Japan, and Cuba have created very strong international teams and they also have players in Major League Baseball. So what is it about baseball that makes this the one thing truly American that does not cause other countries to become angry or defensive?

If a country were to allow its first McDonald's restaurant in their capital city, some citizens of that country may oppose it as being too American. But a baseball team never seems to have that problem. It could be the intimate nature of the game, even in the context of a fierce team competition.

There is something magical about a father and son throwing the baseball around in the backyard that should be replicated all over the world. There is an excitement about a child swinging a bat and making contact with a ball that sends even the smallest crowd into a furor. It is that crack of the bat, that instant recognition that contact has been made, that is one of the most recognizable sounds in the world today.

If you play the sound of a field goal kicker making contact with the ball you may get a couple of people that recognize that sound, but the crack of a bat on a ball is universal. These are things anyone can enjoy using even the most rudimentary of elements. Pick up a large branch and hit a large rock with it and that thrill is still there.
