Title
Home Team Winner
Subject
Discusses a collegiate game between two fierce teams and a professional game between Virginia and Gettysberg.
Description
The article details both games as gripping and scores as well as important plays are detailed. It may seem like just a record of winning but it demonstrates the idea of pride in one's home. Nationally, baseball has been noted for spreading patriotism at times of war, but on a smaller scale, statehood and pride in your local teams is crucial. This is in part how desegregation of baseball began. Good players lead to winning games and as players of color start to soar in their own leagues, they become desirable in others.
