棒球,全美的休閒活動,幾乎自第一個移民者到達時,即以某種形式在此國家成型;雖然它可能自一種英國遊戲演變而來,但是現在己經被認為是獨特的美式運動。從小聯盟 (Little
League) 到大聯盟 (Major
League) ,能力不同的棒球員勇於在」夢的領域「 (Field
of Dreams) 上測試他們的超凡本領。著名的棒球員、好記的歌曲及標準的球場食物,如:熱狗、爆米花和花生等,使得觀看棒球比賽成為許多美國人最愛的夏季戶外活動。
America's national pastime, baseball in some form has been played in this country almost since the first settlers arrived. Although it possibly evolved from an English game, baseball is now thought of as a uniquely American sport. From Little League to the Major League, players of all skill levels enjoy testing their prowess on the "Field of Dreams." Famous players, catchy songs, and the standard stadium food of hot dogs, popcorn, and peanuts make going to a baseball game a favorite summer outing for many Americans.
