BASEBALL - America's Pastime
What do we know about baseball?
sliding into home..HE'S SAFE! 3 strikes, you're out!....the first pitch... swing, batter batter batter, sawing!... peanuts & popcorn & cracker jacks
Maybe you started tossing baseballs to your dad or a friend in your backyard when you were three or four. You might have played t-ball or play in a league now - or play on your Wii. You have a favorite team you follow. You have been to Citifield or Fenway or Tiger Stadium. So, what do you think about when you hear the word baseball?
baseball brings out the best in us:
Let's face it, according to Hollywood, if you build a baseball stadium, "They will come." And you are never to old to play and play well. Not to mention that the team's best player may just be your best friend - and pet!
Hollywood has given us quite a few classic baseball movie moments - each with something to teach us about baseball and life.

The Natural
This movie gave viewers quite a few wisdoms to ponder. Among them: if you were born to play, well then, you were born to play. And, when a batter is in a slump, his best chance may just be a mysterious lady in white.
