Baseball as America's (Continuing) National Pastime
A look at why baseball, despite decades of premature obituaries, remains woven into American identity — and how it keeps reinventing itself to stay there. Drawing on three decades of writing about the sport for outlets from ESPN to The New York Times, Neyer traces the game's cultural throughlines: what's changed, what's stubbornly endured, and why a sport invented in the 19th century still shapes how Americans think about community, memory, and summer itself.
