Baseball: America's Game

Now that the baseball season has begun, we can say with all confidence that spring has sprung. There is music in the air as the true American pastime takes the field to lead us through summer.

It is the perfect blend of individual prowess and team effort. Everyone fields and everyone bats. Well, okay, not everyone, as the American League sticks to the lousy designated hitter rule, but still, baseball is the truest of sports.

It's the only one that gets a season to itself (soccer, that dull European game) is not a threat to baseball dominance of the season. Plus, fans get more baseball than any other sport: 162 whole games. It doesn't get any better than that, unless you're a Cubs fan.

Play ball!
