BASEBALL
El baseball es el deporte nacional norteamericano. Dos equipos de nueve jugadores se enfrentan en un campo de cuatro bases que forman un rombo. El bateador (batter) intenta dar a la pelota que le ha tirado el lanzador (pitcher) y enviarla fuera del alcance de los fildeadores (fielders) para después correr alrededor del rombo de base en base y volver a su punto inicial. Existen dos ligas importantes en los Estados Unidos: la National League y la American League. Los equipos ganadores de estas dos ligas juegan después otra serie de partidos que se denominan World Series.
Algunos aspectos de este deporte, tales como la camaradería y el espíritu de competición tanto entre equipos como entre miembros de un mismo equipo se usan a menudo en el cine como metáforas del modo de vida americano. Culturalmente el béisbol ha aportado, además de conocidas prendas de vestir como las botas o las gorras de béisbol, ciertas expresiones idiomáticas como a ballpark figure (una cifra aproximada) o a whole new ball game (una situación completamente distinta).
