Description
More than any other sport, baseball has become a ubiquitous part of popular culture in the United States. Even nonfans can be heard using the game's terminology to describe everyday situations. Writings on the sport reflect the nature of society, from sobering statistical studies to business analyses, from acclaimed novels on the sport to poetry about the game.
The 4,500 works here are arranged by 25 broad categories, such as art, commercialization, drug use and abuse, ethnic diversity, heroic images, humor, innovation and change, songs, American values, and women in baseball. Compiled from a wide range of magazines, journals, newspapers, and books, the work gives full bibliographic information for each entry. Comprehensive author and subject indexes are provided for further ease of use.
