Baseball Beyond Our Borders celebrates the globalization of the
game while highlighting the different histories and cultures of the
nations in which the sport is played. This collection of essays
tells the story of America’s national pastime as it has spread
across the world and undergone instructive, entertaining, and
sometimes quirky changes in the process. Covering nineteen
countries and a U.S. territory, the contributors show how each
country imported baseball, how baseball took hold and
developed, how it is organized, played, and followed, and what
local and regional traits tell us about the sport’s place in each
culture. But what lies in store as baseball’s passport
fills up with far-flung stamps? Will the international migration of
players homogenize baseball? What role will the World Baseball
Classic play? These are just a few of the questions the authors
pose.
