Baseball In The American Culture
Baseball first popped up in the American culture in the mid-19th century but it was not until the mid-1880s that baseball achieved a level of prominence away from the field. Casey At The Bat was a poem that appeared in the San FranciscoExaminer and took on a life of its own. Take Me Out To The Ballgame is still sung 110 years after it was written. Abbott and Costello’s biggest routine was Who’s On First. Baseball has been a subject in books, on vaudeville stages, in a Broadway play, in song, in movies and television. Baseball cards played a role in kids growing up and Yogi Berra became an American icon. Join journalist Evan Weiner at this historic look at
America’s favorite pastime.
