Baseball suits the character of this democratic nation. Democracy is government by persuasion. That means it requires patience. That means it involves a lot of compromise. Democracy is the slow politics of the "half-loaf." Baseball is the game of the long season where small incremental differences decide who wins and loses a particular game, series, season. In baseball you know going to the ballpark that chances are you may win, but you may also lose. There's no certainty, no given. You know when a season starts that the best team is going to get beaten a third of the time, worse team is going to win a third of the time. The argument is over a 162 game middle third. So, it's a game you can't like if winning is everything. And, Democracy is that way too.
