baseball spread was the growth of newspapers and magazines. The Sporting News and Sporting Life were weekly journals that were devoted only to baseball. All of these things helped the game of baseball thrive and bring it to what it is today, but there would never had been the push for these rules and magazines if it hadnt been for the spirit of the game. I have played this game for a long time and I do believe it has a spirit. Baseball lets you forget all your troubles, it teaches you about life, and most of all it is a game that we can call ours and be proud to say that it is our national pastime. So in conclusion I hope I have informed you of why this is such a great game and how it has captured America. Baseball was started by not just one man but a nation that took it in and developed it into the game we know today. So I hope you can understand that baseball is not just a game it is much more to a lot of people, and how quickly it was picked up by America proves that it is much more to a lot of people....
