I remember how my heart broke as Kirby Puckett drove that ball over the center field fence and forced a game 7. After the end of the series, Wes and I won the championship for Atlanta in our minds as we played a quick game of baseball on my old Nintendo. Baseball is a part of America's history. It has been the ultimate platform for competition in my opinion. I don't think so.
Football is played distinctly in America and a little bit in Europe.
When most people of the world think of football, they think of soccer anyway. Basketball is played often in other countries, but still not as much as baseball. It's just a matter of fact. More people in the world love baseball over any other sport. Not to say that baseball is a better sport than any of the others, but look at the countries of the world who have baseball leagues or teams.
