Jacques Barzun of French origin correctly mentioned in 1954 that ‘Whoever wishes to know the heart and mind of United States of America had better learn baseball’. America and baseball evolved together. Since the emerging of baseball, the sport and the nation have responded to the same events, shared the same values, and struggled with the same economic and social issues. Baseball arrived into the community amidst the inventive energy during the 19th century in America. It continued to grow during the 20th century.

Baseball as the National Game reflects the changing priorities, passions, character and spirit of America. It had inspired many rituals and continues to reflect the unfolding story.
