Baseball - It's The Heart & Soul of The USA
Baseball and America are almost synonymous today. Americans are very loyal and cheerful supporters of their teams and throng in millions to view Major League Baseball and The World Series every year.
Baseball in its pure form is a difficult especially with respect to pitching. This has given rise to many different variants of this national pastime such as softball and slow-pitch. These versions also have their own leagues.
Basically baseball is a game centred on skill with an emphasis on hand-eye coordination involved in hitting a ball travelling at 50 miles per hour. This is the reason that parents put their children into baseball rather than hockey or football which involve body contact. Baseball has a well developed infrastructure in America through its various leagues, little, minor, major etc.
The history of baseball is hard to pinpoint since many forms of it have shown up all over the world, but in the US, the first teams began popping up in the early 1800s. The game was based primarily on an English game called rounders. By the end of the century it was easily the most popular sport in the nation. In 1845 Alexander Cartwright had created the modern baseball field as we know it. He is also credited with coming up with the modern set of baseball rules.
In 1946 Cartwright and his team played the first recorded baseball game, and the rest as they say is history. Baseball has progressed from that game to be popular with both the young and old, men and women. And one of the best things about baseball or its off shoots is that you don't have to be exceptionally athletic to play. Anyone can do it.
People are fascinated with the top players in the Major League. Players such as Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds, and Mark McGwire have become household names. Many kid's want to be the next Willie Mays and spend hours playing ball. Batting cages are also a popular past time as many people enjoy just hitting a few balls around.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum has thousands of visitors each year. It houses artifacts from many of the most prominent players in the American history of baseball. There are jerseys, bats, and many other pieces of paraphernalia. The Hall of Fame is located in Cooperstown New York, and if you're in the area it's defiantly worth a visit, even if you're not the biggest baseball fan. It's a fascinating journey through America's love with baseball and its biggest names.
Baseball continues to draw people from all walk of life and all ages. It's a great pastime to not only watch in the stands, but play as well. There are even songs dedicated to this fascinating game.

By RONALD BLUM, AP Baseball Writer
HOUSTON - The Chicago White Sox are World Series champions again at last, and yet another epic streak
of futility is not just wiped away but swept away.
After seven scoreless innings, Jermaine Dye singled home the only run in the eighth, and the White Sox beat
the Houston Astros 1-0 Wednesday night to win their first title in 88 years.
Just a year ago, the same story line captivated baseball when the long-suffering Boston Red Sox swept St.
Louis to capture their first title in 86 seasons.
Who's next, the Chicago Cubs, without a championship since 1908?
"It's unbelievable, unbelievable," catcher A.J. Pierzynski said.
It was the third title for the White Sox, following wins in 1906 and 1917. And it was the first since "Shoeless"
Joe Jackson and the "Black Sox" threw the 1919 Series against Cincinnati.
In the Windy City, where the Cubs have long been king, Chicago's South Side team for once trumped its North
Side rival, no small feat for the Sox.
Owner Jerry Reinsdorf once said he'd trade all six of the Chicago Bulls' NBA titles for a single Series ring.
No swap is needed now: He's got the prize he dreamed of since he was a kid growing up in Brooklyn.
"I hope this is not a dream," he said, holding the trophy under his left arm like a kid clutching his first baseball
glove.
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said during the regular season that he might retire if his team went on to win
the Series, and now he'll have to reveal that decision. He hinted after the game that he wanted a new contract.
"Now I'm going to make my money," he said playfully, looking at Reinsdorf.
Chicago's sweep, its eighth straight postseason win and 16th in 17 games overall, made it only the second
team to go through the postseason 11-1 since the extra round of playoffs was added in 1995, joining the 1999
Yankees. But the White Sox fans didn't get to enjoy a single celebration in person: the division title and all
three rounds of the postseason were won on the road.
"I wish we were in Chicago tonight," Reinsdorf said. "It's surreal."
Houston, which finally won a pennant for the first time since it joined the National League in 1962, became the
first team swept in its Series debut.
"They played well all year long," Astros manager Phil Garner said of the White Sox. "They played well against
us. They deserve to be world champions this year."
On a night when pitching dominated, winner Freddy Garcia and Houston's Brandon Backe pitched shutout ball
for seven innings, with Backe allowing four hits and Garcia five. They each struck out seven.
Brad Lidge, Houston's closer, came in to start the eighth, and Chicago sent up Willie Harris to bat for Garcia.
Harris lined a single to left leading off, and that led to Houston's downfall. Scott Podsednik bunted a difficult
high pitch in front of the plate, and the speedy Harris took second on the sacrifice. Carl Everett pinch hit for
Tadahito Iguchi and grounded to second, moving Harris to third.
Dye, the Series MVP, swung and missed Lidge's next pitch, took a ball, then grounded a single up the middle,
clapping his hands as he left the plate. Harris trotted home from third, and the White Sox celebrated in the
third-base dugout.
But it wasn't quite over yet.
Cliff Politte relieved to start the bottom half and hit Willy Taveras on the hand with one out. Politte bounced a
wild pitch on his first offering to Lance Berkman, moving Taveras to second, then intentionally walked
Berkman, nearly throwing away the next pitch.
Morgan Ensberg flied to right-center, dropping him to 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position in the Series,
and Chicago brought in left-hander Neal Cotts to face pinch-hitter Jose Vizcaino, who hit a broken-bat
grounder to shortstop.
Juan Uribe charged in, backhanded the ball by the grass and threw hard to first, beating Vizcaino by half a step.
After Chicago wasted a leadoff double by Pierzynski in the ninth, Jason Lane lofted a 3-2 pitch off Bobby Jenks
into short center for a single leading off the bottom half.
Brad Ausmus sacrificed and pinch-hitter Chris Burke fouled out to Uribe, who fell into the left-field seats as he
leaned in to make the grab. Uribe ran to the mound with the ball and gave Jenks a slap.
Orlando Palmeiro then pinch hit, and grounded to Uribe at shortstop for the final out, with Paul Konerko
gloving the ball a half-step before Palmeiro landed on the bag. A postseason filled with umpires making
questionable calls ended with them getting it right.
"It means a lot not only to us in the clubhouse but to the organization, the fans, the city. It's a great feeling," Dye
said. "We're just happy to be able to bring a championship to the city of Chicago. It's really special."
Chicago players poured out of their dugout and jumped around on the mound. Astros players were stone-
faced, then came out to wave to their fans and throw caps into the seats.
Houston was 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position on the night and 10-for-48 (.208) in the Series, and the
Astros were shutout for the final 15 innings, stranding 18 runners.
Jenks got his second save, while Lidge fell to 0-2 in the Series and 0-3 in the postseason.
After Chicago's 14-inning, 7-5 win that lasted a Series-record 5 hours, 41 minutes and ended at 1:20 a.m.
Wednesday, the crowd was more subdued at Minute Maid Park. The fans had to know that no team has ever
overcome a 3-0 Series deficit.
Chicago stranded runners in three of the first four innings, including Podsednik after a two-out triple in the
third, but Backe's changeup got stronger, and he struck out five straight — one short of the Series record —
following Dye's leadoff single in the fourth.
He retired 11 batters in a row before Aaron Rowand's two-out single in the seventh, and Joe Crede followed
with a drive high off the out-of-town scoreboard in the left-field fence, missing a home run by a few feet.
Rowand, who had slowed slightly just before getting to second, was held up at third.
After a conference at the mound, and with Everett on deck as a potential pinch-hitter, Houston elected to pitch
to Uribe, the No. 8 hitter, instead of intentionally walking him and forcing Chicago to decide whether to bat for
Garcia. Backe fanned him on his final pitch and skipped off the mound before high-fiving teammates.
Houston, meanwhile, went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position in the first six innings. The Astros stranded
runners on second base in the first two innings. With two on and one out in the sixth, Ensberg struck out and
after Mike Lamb was intentionally walked to load the bases, Garcia struck out Jason Lane.
Notes:@ Chicago also began the season and the second half with 1-0 wins, both over Cleveland. ... The
record of six straight strikeouts was set by Cincinnati's Hod Eller against the White Sox in 1919 and matched
by Baltimore's Moe Drabowsky in 1966 and St. Louis' Todd Worrell in 1985.
