SummaryFew aspects of American life generate the sense of national identity associated with baseball. Through its development in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and its dominance of the national cultural landscape over much of the past one hundred years, it has established a uniquely American identity. Players such as Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, and Hank Aaron have reached beyond the realm of stardom and become pieces of a new American folklore. They have entertained, inspired, and captivated, leading baseball to its status as the "national pastime."
