Wyoming Beitel Elementary School, Laramie
"Our class decided on the following idea to represent America at the end
of the 20th century: Baseball is a sport that developed in the late 19th
century and has become a symbol of 20th century America. Especially through the media of radio and television, millions of Americans follow baseball closely�the heroes, the batting averages, runs batted in, and the World Series. Baseball has provided a unique opportunity for members of minority groups to get ahead in American society, and baseball is a sport that, while centered in the United States, has a true international appeal. It is especially popular in such places as Cuba and Japan."
