Out of the Ballpark strips away the mythology that has accumulated around baseball in the United States to better appreciate the different sites of the sport's development and the various sources of its appeal. It explores baseball's function as a modern entertainment spectacle and moves across time and space to examine its history since the nineteenth century and beyond US borders.
