Life, Religion and Sex Equal Baseball?
Baseball was once the most popular sport in America. In fact, it was known as the
national pastime. Every kid grew up playing it and watching it. It was a key aspect of every
American’s life. While that is no longer the case, the impact of the game is certainly still felt
across the country. There are still people that never miss a game and always have their lucky hat
or jersey no matter where they are watching from. Baseball is still very present in metaphor, in
both the use of other things to describe baseball and the use of baseball to describe other parts of
life. These metaphors can be used to show or inflate the value of baseball, show the impact
baseball has on the lives of its followers and can even show how baseball has spread into other
parts of American culture.
