Baseball has had a profound impact on American culture, representing more than just a sport. It’s a symbol of America’s history, from the Great Depression to the civil rights movement with Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier. It’s also embedded in movies, music, and everyday life.

It’s more than a sport; it’s a symbol of resilience, community, and nostalgia. Baseball connects generations, reminding us of shared values and the enduring spirit of teamwork and perseverance.
