"BEN GRAHAM: Baseball is a game that appeals to people of all ages, all genders, all races. It's played in various countries, various cultures across the globe, especially here in the United States. You go to company picnics, on the 4th of July, you go to family reunions, chances are, you'll see people playing baseball. On a Sunday afternoon in May, more than likely, you're going to find a grandfather, a father and a son, maybe a mom and a sister sitting around the television, watching a game televised on any number of stations, in any number of cities all across the country. Baseball is a very simple game to understand, it's a very simple game to play. I think that's why it has such a mass appeal, especially among Americans. It's woven into the very fabric of who we are. It's a gentlemanly game of competition. There's just enough strategy to keep it interesting, but it's not overly complex. You don't necessarily require several coaches to play. It can be organized in neighborhoods. It can be organized between families. It can be organized on a professional level, as we've obviously seen. It's a very fast paced game at times, but it also has a nice leisurely pace that allows people to relax, get into the groove, and enjoy the game of baseball."
