The Legacy Baseball League: A Creative Journey through Baseball's History

"America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers.
It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again.
But baseball has marked the time.
This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray.
It reminds of us of all that once was good,
And it could be again."

--Terrance Mann, Field of Dreams

"...America's game: has the snap, go fling, of the American atmosphere--
belongs as much to our institutions, fits into them as significantly, as our
constitutions, laws: is just as important in the sum total of our historic life."
--Walt Whitman
