Take Me Out To The Ball Game
fun. Needless to say, we all had a great time and were back two weeks later with friends and cousins to add to the excitement.
Every aspect of American culture symbols has always had a way of tying into other symbols of American customs. Baseball is no exception to this rule. What do the American people do at a baseball game? Well, for one they eat and what else would they eat then the good-old American hot-dog. Hot dogs are served up fresh at every baseball stadium around the country.
“Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks …”, this fad has faded some, at local levels of baseball, but at major league baseball games you can still catch a vendor carrying cartons of peanuts throughout the stands. Along with peanuts, you can eat snow cones, cotton candy, and popcorn. Sodas and ice-cold beer are also enjoyed refreshments. No major baseball game is complete with out the numerous yells of vendors. “ Pop-corn, get your pop-corn.”
Other traditions at baseball games are the ways to support your team. Some fans sit calmly back decked out in their team-wear. Other fans are constantly on they’re feet yelling and screaming while wailing around that huge foam finger. The wave is an additional popular tradition with the fans. No matter how hard you try you are almost always overcome by the tidal wave of bodies leaping to their feet on cue.
Baseball is a game of the people. Whether you are a fan or a player you are just as involved as the next. No one is left out and no one is singled out. It also serves as an inexpensive way to get the family out for a day of fun. All of there aspects make baseball, a part of American popular culture.
