Baseball - How America Went Crazy About It


Baseball is extremely popular game in America. People are crazy about this game. This game has its roots from North America so it is believed to be originated from there and got spread in other countries later on.


As this game started in US in 1860, within a decade, it was termed as ‘National game’. At that time only National League was started, which still exists.


At that time the baseball players union did not use to be so much strong. It was only when a chief economist turned a baseball team’s union director. Now the union became more and more strong.


Today baseball is famous for its unique style. In US, people take it as religion. They worship this game. This game needs skills, timing, energy and brain to play a beautiful game.


It is very famous and unique in style as it resembles with a very popular game called cricket. It does not have any time restrictions in this game. It is really impossible for a team to win until last member of the game is out. Baseball fields need not to be like football rectangular standard sized fields. Every baseball field can have its own style.


If we compare baseball with the other games of America, we will always see it equally popular as football is.


The number of people that watches football every year is almost equal to number of people watches baseball, moreover the football gets higher television rating but still this game is called number one game in America.
