You've managed to include everything, and the kitchen sink! Halberstom, Jefferson, Mailer, Hemmingway, a trawl through American archetypes. I think I see where you're coming from but US sport is surely no more than a surrogate for global passions. It's interesting but it doesn't travel does it? How can you explain the conceit of calling a national contest the World Series? I hear what you're saying, and I agree that sport is a modern metaphor for primal passions but you don't have to justify yourself quite so fervently. The history of sport is fascinating in itself, a rich vein that flows through the human psyche, enjoy yours even if it is wrapped up in the US interpretations of the creed. Lee Baldwin. Wow.
