Baseball: The Game and Beyond - Baseball, apple pie, and motherhood: three American traditions. Everyone understands what motherhood is, and everyone knows how to eat an apple pie, but a lot of people don't really understand how baseball is played.

This ThinkQuest finalist team has come up with a lot of the answers. If they could only tell us when the Red Sox will win the Series! There's also a very interesting section about the official announcer and what his day is like.

Yankees.com - During the summer, in cities all across the U.S., baseball teams head to the fields, umpires shout to let the games begin, and fans munch on salted peanuts and drink soda while waiting for their favorite team to win the big one. OK, our favorite team is listed here, but if you have another, just type the name in and chances are it will come up. For our team--go Yanks!--there are listings of all the players, a schedule of the season's games, ticket information complete with a diagram of the park, and lots more. There are pictures of the Yankee greats, including Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle. You can hear a sound bite of the day Babe hit one out of the park and the famous "organ stylings of Eddie Layton" played during each game. It makes us want to head for the Big Apple and a trip to the stadium.
