Long before baseball was invented very long before around 380 BC, the Greek philosopher Plato wrote in the Republic about the idealize society as having a united influence of music and sport where it's people mingle. Music was sport in the fairest of proportions in Greek civilization, music and sport reviewed as synonymous, complementary and above all, both necessary for persons, full development and education. The Greek view was that sport and music went together. There's some greater than their parts. If Plato's showed up today at a contentious school budget meeting with parents jockeying over whether sports or the arts should be cut, he'd argue that both the marching band and the baseball team should be saved, but might suggest they both put off getting new uniforms in Plato's world, it made no sense to have one without the other.
