Discussions about Baseball by Ken Burns Boxed Set DVD| Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet | | Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet...do you remember that song? I think it was on commercials when I was a kid. It was the American way.Boy have things changed. NFL is now the most popular sport in the USA. Hot dogs and apple pie are bad for you. And of course, we all know that the government had to bail out GM, or Chevrolet.So if you had to think of replacements for the song what would you put in there now? What are the new things that when you think of them, you think of America? What items are considered the American Way? | |
| | Baseball | | Do you think BASEBALL is still Americas sport? Do you think its the most popular sport still? YES or NO. Why or Whynot! | |
| | Major League Baseball (MLB) - American or Un-American | | If you have been following the contraversy over Arizona's new immigration law, you may have seen mention that the MLB is thinking about planning to boycott or cancel playoffs in Arizona because of this law.The excuse they are using is that is would result in[b]possible harrassment of their players[/b].[b]Players[/b], not fans. The AZ law[b]only[/b] requires police officers to ask for identification if they reasonably suspect the person is illegally in the country; and then,[b]only[/b] if they are stopped for something else - traffic stop, drugs, domestic violence, etc.So, this has had me wondering and wondering[b]why[/b] this would be an issue to the MLB.Are they worried that their minority players are so unruly they would be stopped frequently for these types of violations?Are their players here in the US illegally?Do they have such a high number of legal immigrants that it would be a problem if even a small percentage were stopped on routine violations and asked to produce their paperwork? (Note:[b]federal law[/b] also requires them to keep their work visas, passports, green cards, etc. with them.)All of these questions lead me to wonder why... | |

| | Is baseball still America's game? | | Is baseball still America's game? the old saying was baseball, applie pie, hot dogs and peanuts made for a great outing at the ball game. It still is a pretty good outing today. It is still the most affordable of the the major sports, costing a family aof 4 50 dollars for tickets and another 50 dollars for snacks.The kids love being outdoors and feeing the sun on their face and possible having a ball hit at them. Baseball is still a great game. | |

| | What baseball teams will be in the World Series this year? | | what baseball teams will be in the world series this year and do the Houston Astos have a chance? The Astros notoriously start slow and get stronger as the year moves forward. They are waiting on Lance Berkman to return and still have questionable pitching if they plan to make a run they better turn things around quick after starting the year 0-5 with a new manager.The Phillies with Ryan Howard, The Cardinals with Albert Puhois and the Braves with rookie phenom Jason Hayward seem to be the favorites in the National League.In the American League the Yankees and the Angels will probably be the favorites with the Red Sox and White Sox in the hunt also. | |
