The four seasons of the year come with many different memories or activities specific to them. With fall comes the start of school, cooler weather, football games, and changing colors on the trees.

Baseball is a sport that can be played from the time you are young until you are older. The focus of the game is to hit the ball far enough that you can run the bases. Once you get all the way around, your team scores a point. The team who scores the most runs, or points, wins the game. The teams can be made up of a number of players, but only certain ones are able to actually hit the ball.

He said, “It’s the time of the year where you get to grab your cleats and play a game you love with not just your team mates but also your family”.

Baseball is America’s pastime. Baseball is a sport that is played with a bat, glove, and a baseball. The sport is popular worldwide. Countries around the world have developed their own leagues and have created teams in the leagues to play against each other. The age group for baseball players range from the ages of 5 to about 65. Some leagues are created with age restrictions on them so that play levels can be fair. For example, 5 years olds playing together would be more fair than an 18 year old player playing against the 5 year old. The 18 year old would have a better skill set than the 5 year old so the play would be unfair. The most popular baseball league in the is the Major League Baseball (MLB). The MLB is where the best baseball players in the world play. However, there can be only so many players that can play in the majors, so there are also different leagues where players can play.

The group of people that play baseball have certain attire, behavior, and values that distinguish themselves from others.

The history behind the game has such a humbling expression towards the game of baseball, which was first known as “rounder” earlier in the 1840’s in England until it was brought over in the US. In 1871 the Major League was born and by the 20th century most large cities in the US had professional baseball teams. The teams where divided into two leagues, American and National. During the season those teams would only play the teams in their leagues. Teams that succeeded the best during their season win what are called the “pennant” and those teams would meet in what is still to this day called the “World Series”.

In "The Human Seasons" the author, John Keats, uses personification while describing the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. There is such a deeper meaning to this poem than one may realize. The four seasons actually represents distinctive phases/stages that are terrifically vital for life to exist. Tho's stages are birth, childhood, adulthood, and death. This is proven by Keats when he states that "Four Seasons fill the measure of the year; There are four seasons in the mind of man."
The sport is such an integral part of our culture today that we Americans sometimes take for granted its significance in our everyday lives. Contemporary baseball is so closely related with American ideals and identity that it often has served as an expression of patriotism. In times of national hardships, baseball has been used to encourage and rally the nation. In speaking of the emergence of America's nationalism in the historic and contemporary playing field, there are several key issues that surface. Of these issues I will specifically address the long residuals of how baseball has helped to establish our (Americans) national spirit and identity. That is the links between our heritage and national institutions and the game of baseball as a cultural and political representative abroad and unifying tradition at home. I will also address ideals and injustices. That is how baseball's acceptability has changed over time, and how this acts as a microcosm for America's changing attitudes about equality and opportunity.
