Baseball is a metaphor for wild pitches
Americans now call strikes
Houston, TX, October 24, 2010 - Most people
agree that since the founding of American
society the bounds of what is acceptable
have been stretched. Victor Baltov, Jr.
uses the strike zone in baseball as a
metaphor for this boundary stretching in
BASEBALL IS AMERICA: Origins and History,
the Good, the Bad and the Ugly (AuthorHouse),
the second in his BASEBALL IS AMERICA
trilogy. In this well-written,
thought-provoking book the author challenges
the American cultural current toward
materialism and uses experiences from a
genuine account of the life of a baseball
player as described in the first book, A
Child of Baseball, from the Glory Days
through the Synthetic Era to address
baseball, corporate America, American
politics, and the culture wars.
Laced with satirical humor, this book urges
readers to redefine actions they consider
acceptable, or to 'Reclaim the Strike Zone,'
based on American founding principles by
electing officials who uphold the
Constitution. In BASEBALL IS AMERICA,
Baltov highlights the parallels between
American culture and baseball. His fierce
passion to restore integrity and character
to baseball, as well as to the country,
endows Baltov with the skills of a great
speaker. This acknowledged expert in the
history of the game is uniquely qualified to
offer an educated opinion about many issues
facing Americans today.
This self-professed baseball crusader’s goal
is to use founding principles as moral
guides and to judge by content of character,
not celebrity. He questions the motives and
actions of so-called role models and
addresses the prevalence of cheating in the
game as well as in American culture. There
is a sense of urgency in Baltov’s writing
that reflects the current American cultural
crisis. He prepares readers to respond if
and when disaster strikes.
