Just as my grandpa spread the love of the game to my family, the United States Navy was instrumental in introducing and popularizing the game of baseball around the world. Baseball was first brought to Japan in 1870 and when U.S. naval ships docked later in the 1870s, they began playing against the local teams. From Japan, the game spread to Korea and Taiwan. Before the start of World War I, the U.S. Navy had introduced the game in China, […]

All sports have similarities, whether it’s the equipment used during the games, the season lengths, or the career lengths.

Baseball and football have many similarities as well as differences. Baseball includes not only physical but mental strength to be able to not only compete but to develop the ability to reach the peak of an athletic career. […]
One of the most interesting things regarding my research of the MLB is the system that they use to pay the teams of the league called revenue sharing. Revenue sharing is when all of the 30 teams in the league give in 31% of their total local revenue, which is then divided and equally dispersed to each team (Revenue Sharing). Teams acquire the majority of their revenue locally through things such as television contracts, concessions, ticket sales, partnerships/sponsorships, and team […]
Baseball and softball are both competitive sports for males and females at any age. Both are skill requiring sports and require passion for the game. Although they share the same objective, they are different. The biggest difference in these two sports is the pitching style and size.

It provides exercise for the players and entertainment for those who watch. Both […]

Being a game brought to the North Americans by immigrants, it was more than a bat and ball game. To the parents of that era, the term ballplayer was not a career that a kid would have pursued and a parent contends with such an idea. This is because baseball did not entirely have a broad cultural impact as it has had in the recent few years starting from the amount of money the players used to be awarded. Life […]

Participation trophies are hurting children. Giving these trophies for nothing but participation is a relatively new idea thought of by parents who cannot let their children’s failure reflect back on them. Trophies and ribbons given out in this manner give children the belief that they are better than they actually are and that they deserve more than they actually deserve. When these participation trophies are handed out it takes away all incentive for children to want to try to earn […]

Following the investigations on Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire for the use of performance enhancing drugs, the ethics of how the media reports on alleged crimes committed by baseball players needs to be further explored.

Around 1940, a popular phrase spread wildly and is still quoted today, as American as mom, baseball, and apple pie. With the term […]

It started off when I first went to high school. It was gym class and we were about to play basketball. With me being shy I really didn’t want to participate but of course everyone had to.

Throughout the game, I was doing […]
