After foot ball season, "March Madness" begins. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) tournament begins with 68 men's college basketball teams. They play until the field is reduced to the "Final Four."
The winning team becomes the national champion. The NBA (National Basketball Association) All-Star Game is also held in February. The best players from all the teams play in this game. Baseball is no doubt American's national sport. From grandpas to young kids, whole families go to ball games together.
They wear their favorite team's caps or even carry their mascot. Our family went to watch Wang Chien-Ming play in D.C. once. We ate hot dogs, waved flags and sang during the 7th inning stretch. If you're not a sports fan yet, come and pick a sport or a team. Go to a ball game with your family, and cheer your team on. Sports are definitely a part of American culture one should not miss.
