How can I use baseball to teach history?

It seems like the two subjects are a millenium apart. I liked how Dr. Finkleman gave the analogy of Baseball being like the Supreme Court. I think my students could really grasp that.

Baseball is also a great tool to teach about history. Because the topic of baseball could grab the interest of some of the more 'hard to motivate', I could start with the integration of baseball and then work backwards addressing the larger social issues.
