Robert Elias: Baseball and the American Way
From the Civil War to the Iraq War, baseball has played a central, and perhaps unexpected, role in mythologizing the American empire, first at home and then beyond. But is the modern face of baseball that of goodwill ambassador, or ugly American? Robert Elias, author of the fascinating The Empire Strikes Out, says baseball and America are intertwined in the export of âthe American way,â from our foreign policies to the sport itself. Presented by The Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with Elliott Bay Book Company. Series media sponsorship provided by Publicola. Series supported by The Boeing Company Charitable Trust, RealNetworks Foundation and the Otto Haas Charitable Trust.
