This dissertation explores the construction of identity in contemporary America through the sport of baseball. A tri-tiered identity matrix, also known as communicatively integrated entity, is my analytical device. These three levels function differently but are integrated to form each individual's identity. On the national (macro) level, baseball has been appropriated by the mass media and socio-political elites as a symbol of distinctive Americaness and nostalgic pastoralness. On the regional (meso) level, through the urban entrepreneurialism and human nature in topophilia, city-based professional baseball becomes not only a spectacle but also a modern continuity which unites the denizens of the cities and their outskirt regions. On the (inter)personal level, baseball integrates itself into the everyday rhythm and is inseparable from American everyday life. The construction of identity matrix is an idiosyncratic process. However, the symbol of the "home team" provides a common denominator. American city-based sports teams are the vehicle of identity for the fans. However, the concept of home is a dynamic construction. In the dynamics of the identity matrix, human beings are capable of constructing their own individual identities and articulate themselves with the city and the nation. With both horizontal and vertical connections in the identity matrix and the dialectic process in the movement between different levels, a nation is not just an imagined community but also a tangible one.
