Actually, a literature on the link between baseball (and sports in general)
and capitalism exists. It is very interesting.
Given my current role as my son's T-ball (a version of baseball) team's
manager, I face every week the issue of the way that baseball is typically
run in a way designed to get young kids prepared for life in capitalism. Of
course, the kids on my son's team are getting a somewhat different
experience.
