The Gall of Fame?
Written by: Tim Wright Very few things are considered more American than the great game of baseball. It is synonymous with what many consider to be the very best of this country—competition, artistry and entertainment. It is a sport of metaphor that fans often romanticize, and lift to a mythical level of significance. The true stars of the game often become legends and are showered with admiration and riches. The sport and its players have been taken down a few notches in recent times because of the controversy over illegal substances and their influence on the game. Writer Tim Wright examines the state of the game and puts the institution of baseball under a microscope.
