America's favorite pastime was secured by those who served in our other, but least favorite pastime: war. When I look at all the men, Hall of Famers or not, who took time out from their ball careers to protect this country and our way of life...National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown is free for military personnel.
Baseball, Mom (& Dad) and apple pie, R&R ping!
If you want on or off my Pro-Coalition ping list, please Freepmail me. Warning: it is a high volume ping list on good days. (Most days are good days).

Prior to the Civil War baseball and cricket were of roughly equal popularity in the US. During the war baseball was played by the troops for recreation and its popularity soared and was spread far and wide. After the war baseball became the national pastime and cricket disappeared from the american scene.
