...or owners who take tax money from the public for ballparks when they have plenty of money to finance them themselves.

Baseball breeds freedom. Except in Cuba, but, the best players manage to get into the US.
And as a courtesy: Go Braves!

Great stadium idea but I doubt the Saudi's would like a big old "Hebrew National" hotdog sign on the field.

We should introduce it to Palestinians as well; those rock-throwers need a healthy outlet.

Baseball is now an Olympic sport, so maybe someday these kids can play on the Iraqi national team.
Baseball has also spread to countries that the U.S. never occupied, like Venezuela and Taiwan, and I think baseball caught on in Japan long before 1945.
