Baseball
America's past time.
America's truly own...with an occasional barrier overcome by the profoundly great Jackie Robinson...with the game gone global, English no longer the predominant language, and non-natives relying on baseball terminology to understand their needed cues.
America's trademark theme song -
"Take Me Out to the Ball Game"
Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game.
- Jack Norworth
