- Abstract
The article discusses the aesthetic and complex nature of baseball, along with the emotions the sport evokes in its fans. The author beings by noting the relationship between baseball and U.S. literature, with focus given to the sport's role in the novel "Underworld," by Don DeLillo. He goes on to explain the importance of attention to the sport and provides a psychoanalytical analysis of fans' embrace of the game's rules. Other topics addressed include the role played by uncertainty and suspense in baseball, in-game decision making, and the game's pace.
