At least two things have been enjoyed by Americans for the last 106 years; Ford Automobiles and the World Series. Both had their inceptions in 1903.
Both baseball and automobiles, in some fashion, had been around since the late 1700's, but Ford and the World Series are responsible for mass producing their respective products for U.S. consumers. Can you fathom the U.S. without our affordable mass-produced cars? Or our mass-produced Baseball franchises? How would we get anywhere? And what would we do all summer?
Just more anecdotal evidence that U.S. History and Baseball go hand in glove... or mitt.
