Baseball isn't American anymore -- I'd say it's more "Latin American" than "American" these days. But the vast majority of visitors to the Hall of Fame are still American, and nobody with an IQ over 70 would even think of alienating them.

My Spanish teacher from Cuba would bristle to hear you say that ...her contention is that "Amercia" is all of North America, not just the USA, and that the USA has taken "over" the name "America" wrongly when it truely applies to Canada and Mexico as well...lol.

Baseball is still American....even with players from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Venequela, etc...its still American....its American ideals, and its American attitudes....
