Baseball is no longer America’s national pastime. It still embodies the
nation’s soul and spirit.
Football is more popular and has more money; basketball attracts more young
sports fans. All Major League Baseball ballparks display the number 42 to
commemorate Jackie Robinson, who blazed the trail for racial integration of
the game 64 years ago; today, the percentage of African-American players in
the league is smaller than in the population at large.
Yet baseball’s magic, on view in the playoffs, excites and rejuvenates an
angry and dispirited American citizenry as almost nothing else — even
killing Osama bin Laden — can.
