Baseball and American Foreign Policy 1 Baseball and American Foreign Policy Robert Elias 1 While many have observed baseball’s longstanding resonance with U.S. domestic life, our national pastime has also figured prominently in how America has projected itself abroad—in its foreign, military, diplomatic and globalization policies.

To do so, baseball—and especially major league baseball (MLB)—has tried to associate itself with the values of the American dream.
