Baseball Beyond Our Borders: An International Pastime by George Gmelch

Author:George Gmelch
Format: pdf
Tags: Baseball Beyond Our Borders celebrates the globalization of the game while highlighting the different histories and cultures of the nations in which the sport is played. This collection of essays tells the story of America’s national pastime as it has spread across the world and undergone€instructive, entertaining, and sometimes quirky changes in the process. Covering nineteen countries and a U.S. territory, the contributors show how each country imported baseball, how baseball€took hold and developed, how it is organized, played, and followed, and what local and regional traits tell us about the sport’s place in each culture.€ But what lies in store as baseball’s passport fills up with far-flung stamps? Will the international migration of players homogenize baseball? What role will the World Baseball Classic play? These are just a few of the questions the authors pose., Publisher:University of Nebraska Press, Published:2017, Related ISBN:9780803276826, Language:English, OCLC:969973823
