		Sports history grew out of the social history movement of the 1960s that began to look at the past from 'below' by considering the histories of groups, such as women and the working class, that were usually submerged within conventional historical narratives.
		Sport itself is an active agent in the world we live in and thus the relationship between sport and society is a complex two-way process.
		It is primarily aimed at students who arrive at sports history from outside the discipline of history and is thus particularly useful for students embarking on their own historical research for sports studies or science courses.

		On view are seven major sporting events - boxing, horse racing, cycling, track and field, basketball, baseball, and football - which opened the doors to the expanding Sports Arenas of today.
		The world of sports is such a strong part of the recognizable American fabric that it would be hard to imagine the social, cultural, or political development of this nation without this pastime.

	math lessons - Baseball glove
		A baseball glove or mitt is a large leather glove that baseball players on the defending team are allowed to wear to assist them in catching and fielding balls hit by the batter.
		Some say the first player to use a baseball glove was Doug Allison, a catcher for the Cincinnati Red Stockings, in 1870, due to an injured left hand.
		While it was not accepted by all players at first, and in fact looked down upon by good defenders, it slowly caught on as more and more players began using different forms of gloves.
