Discovering our American spirit : finding common ground in the national pastime

Description:	Take a front row seat on the wooden bleachers of a windswept field where baseball provides a virtual view of our countrys character. Journey back in time to discover a young land as its enterprising soul comes of age in the villages and towns of 19th century America. Follow the exploration of a western frontier after an anguishing Civil War to see how natives and naturalized citizens forge a familiar pastime while learning each others customs and cultures.
