Why Baseball Is America's Pastime

I believe that baseball is America’s pastime because haven’t you heard the names of Griffey, Ruth, and Trout, It’s even played on diamonds it is the best sport on the planet no doubt. It is the best sport on the planet but it is also the hardest because you have to hit a round ball with a round bat at 90 plus mph. The reason people love this game as Derek Jeter once said “I think everybody can relate.” He also said this as well “Baseball is up and down. I think life’s like that sometimes, you know. Back and forth, up and down.” So what he means by saying this is that the reason everybody likes it is because baseball is just like life one minute you can be on top of the world or down in the dumps just like real life. A couple more things on why people love baseball are the concession stands and the smell of the food at the ballpark the smell of hotdogs and hamburgers grilling and the smell of salty sunflower seeds, the walk up songs to see the different cultures of different ballplayers, to the decisive calls that umpires make to decide a world series game, to the perfect game and no hitters and to the monster home runs.
I think baseball is the number 1 sport because it’s worldwide and who just doesn’t love going to a baseball game.
I think that people love baseball more and more everyday because baseball is the best sport to watch at a venue and it’s the cheapest to go to. We also like baseball so much because of the perfect games and how excited and tense you get. Another reason everybody loves baseball is the crazy umpires and how they ring up somebody on a strike three or the crazy fans that give high fives all around and are just crazy. What about all the hard work and dedication that baseball players put in they put in work everyday even in the off-season and that’s dedication. That’s why I believe baseball is America’s
pastime.
