Baseball in USA, considered to be the national game of this country, is enmeshed in the cultural psyche of its people. USA Baseball has a long history to narrate, though its origin in 19th century is rather obscure and Abner Doubleday in New York has been mythically given the credit for the game's invention.
Americans realized that the game has a unifying power in the national context when the nation passed through the miseries of the Depression of 1930s. National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum was established in Cooperstown in this decade to which Americans made 'religious' visits. Uniforms as well as old bats and balls of bygone aces of USA Baseball are kept in this museum.
Several baseball terms entered American lingua franca during these decades; several movies were made and novels written with baseball as background. Much of the discrimination in civil life was absent in the baseball field. Baseball in America helped many immigrants from Ireland and Germany to assert their presence in American civil life. Blacks climb up the social ladder winning baseball matches against the Whites in tournaments across the country. Baseball in America is, in a sense, a game of social emancipation in the years of racial discrimination.
Today, the two important professional leagues of baseball in USA are the American League and the National League. The champions of these two leagues lock horns in World Series, one of the important postseason playoff series in American baseball tournaments.
