Baseball and the American (and Colorado) Dream
One Zoom Session
Thur., Apr. 3, 2025, 7-9 pm MT
Poet Walt Whitman once called baseball “the American game.” That’s not completely accurate because baseball comes from British rounders and cricket. “Still, baseball is Americana,” says Tom Zeiler, author of U.S. History Through Baseball. In time for opening day, Zeiler tests the validity of Whitman’s quote by examining how baseball reflects America, how the Colorado Rockies represent baseball’s new frontiers and why baseball is more than a game―it’s an expression of American history, and, perhaps, of life itself.
