How would the world be if the first World Series game never happened? On October six in 1882, the first World Series was played. Cincinnati beat Chicago four to nothing. People who are not fans like me might have an indifferent opinion on the circumstances. But, it is more than the sport itself that makes this occasion beneficial and "good" . The World Series has been the topic of many conversations between grandfather and grandson. It has been a mode of bonding and friendship. Whenever I think about the World Series, I think about the nostalgic moments with my family at the few regular baseball games I attended.
Ultimately, the World Series is "good" because it allows the avid baseball fans and baseball players continue the sport for as long as possible during the year and also provides "America's pastime". The way it has affected me personally, is I have been able to see how transformed the nation has become since it first occurred. The roster expanded to include all races, even black people. The World Series united our nation and symbolizes our competitive nature as a country.
If it were not for this event baseball would probably not be as popular as it is now. I appreciate this sport and this event because it has molded my life indirectly and directly. If you look on twitter, scroll down any basic girl's timeline and you will see endless retweets of guys in baseball uniforms. I think this is a reason that some people like the World Series. Maybe this year I will tune in and actually watch the World Series.
