Learning American culture through a baseball game?

  • 1.  Learning American culture through a baseball game?

    Posted 04-28-2023 04:29

    Hi,

    I am an American scholar living in Australia. I have an interest in practicing how to teach baseball (the rules, the rituals, the institution) to non-Americans who have knowledge of other sports (especially cricket) but are complete novices to baseball as a mechanism for learning American culture. I would like to use the opportunity that there is a RedSox game at Fenway Park at the conclusion of AOM on the evening of 8 August. Fenway is one of the most famous baseball parks in the country and is near the conference venue. If you are interested in being one of 2-3 people to join me, please let me know and I'll arrange to purchase tickets (at each person's expense).
