Sports have always been a universal activity in which individuals can put aside their differences, sit back and enjoy watching their favorite teams tackle the competition. Independence Day is very much the same way. It is a time to set aside our issues and celebrate our country’s history united as one. According to a poll done by NBC New York in 2016, almost 40 percent of Americans attended a sporting event on the Fourth of July. What sport do they choose to watch? Baseball.
Currently, only MLB teams play on Independence day. College baseball season comes to an end at the end of June.
