I try to explain the rules, but we soon decide to enjoy the experience instead. Come along for hot dogs, nachos, team caps, foul balls, baseball traditions, and Friday-night fireworks — and discover why a summer night at the ballpark can be about much more than the game.

    Episode 38: Does the United States Have an Official Language?
