“Baseball is the religion that worships the obvious and gives thanks that things are exactly as they seem.

—Thomas Boswell, U.S. sports journalist. “The Church of Baseball,” Baseball: An Illustrated History, ed. Geoffrey C. Ward, Knopf (1994)
“The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.”
—William McKinley (1843–1901)

—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
