This book is designed to complement the textbook Baseball and American Society: How a Game Reflects the American Experience (2014) although it can stand on its own. Baseball and American Society Documents consists of several writings dating from the period of Reconstruction to the present, designed to bring to life the words and ideas that reflect the American experience.

The theme that runs through most of the documents relate to the concepts of freedom and liberty. What do these words mean at various times and in different contexts? Such questions underscore the collected documents. A number of documents pertain to how freedom and liberty are interpreted during times of war and national crisis, how freedom is at the heart of the struggle for greater rights by women and African Americans, and how these terms are often misused and denied by those in power. As the title suggests, a sub-theme of this book is baseball. Since for much of American history baseball was the undisputed national pastime, it offers another perspective of the American experience.

The intention behind this book is to provide a vehicle for textual analysis and promote critical thinking. There are study questions at the end of each chapter designed to be thought-provoking and can be used to stimulate classroom discussion or provide the impetus for tests and exams. Overall, Baseball and American Society Documents should provide a valuable resource for those seeking to probe the depths of American thought and experience over the past hundred and fifty years.
