Others have enough love for multiple teams! All have plenty of love for their children’s or grandchildren’s school and summer-league teams. Yes, baseball is still America’s great pastime! The game has been played in the U.S. since at least the early 1800s if not earlier. When the New York Knickerbockers baseball club formally organized in 1845, they wrote down
