This seminar will examine the past and current socioeconomic implications of Major League Baseball (MLB) and other professional leagues. The analysis begins in 1869, after the Civil War, with the formation of what is now the National League and concludes with contemporary issues in baseball. This course will examine how baseball traveled to different regions of the world, and although different regions have added their own unique cultural variations, it still remains, fundamentally the same sport. We will examine the role colonialism played in baseball’s global journey and why some places embraced this sport more than others.
