棒球运动迅速受到人们的青睐。田地已经成熟了。美国需要一项现场直播的户外运动，而这项运动正好符合民族气质。它需要板球运动特有的所有男子气概、耐力、勇气和技巧，并且在令人兴奋的特点上远远优于板球运动。
(Baseball grew rapidly in favor; the field was ripe. America needed a live outdoor sport, and this game exactly suited the national temperament. It required all the manly qualities of activity, endurance, pluck, and skill peculiar to cricket, and was immeasurably superior to that game in exciting features.)
