As many of you already might know, baseball is a national sport in many Countries of the world, but probably only in the US it achieves its best results and counts the most supporters.
Among Americans of all ages, baseball is the sport which can evokes more nostalgia, because it’s part of the childhood’s memories for many – if not most – of them. Today, even girls like to play baseball after school classes and it’s the clear sign that this sport has never stopped to be the “sport” by excellence in the States.
Baseball as a “democratic game”
Each city and town in the US has its baseball team, ranging from the worldwide popular Yankees MLB to the smaller local teams. No matter how many inhabitants a place counts: it can easily form its baseball team.
The main concept in this is that baseball is for anyone, anywhere in the world.
For this and more reasons baseball has always been considered as a “democratic game”. In fact, unlike basketball, volleyball and football, anyone can play baseball: athletes don’t need to be too tall or lean, anyone with their average height and weight can enjoy baseball.
Reasons to love baseball
As you can see, baseball is a top followed sport in the States and maybe it’s even the only sport that attract women in a massive way. Actually, women are becoming interested in sports only since a couple decades, after long years of absolute hate towards sport.
Baseball is pretty much appreciated and loved by women, too. More reasons to play and love baseball are that baseball is easy to play, the game rules aren’t as complicated as in soccer football.
Baseball is a team sport which promotes the cooperation and harmony among the players, it’s in other terms a “social sport”.
Socialization or individualism
However, not always fun comes in the shape of team sports. Sometimes, games can be as funny even though they are individualist kind of games, that is games where you are alone to face the challenge.
The popular tv show deal or no deal is a clear example of how some games can promote individualism, because all contestants have to play one at a time. The cash amounts range from $0.01 up to $1.000.000 and are printed on boards and put inside 26 brief cases.
Contestants have to choose a briefcase by calling its number printed on it: the cash value printed on the board which is inside the case will be shown. Same goes for all the other contestants. So, in the end the winner is the contestant whose briefcase revealed a higher cash value.
