U.S. NATIONAL GAME NOT BASEBALL, BUT POKER

Ever a popular game....


Writing on poker at the American Heritage.com site, author Jack Kelly commented on the historic development of "The very American career of the card game you can learn in 10 minutes and work on for the rest of your life!"

Kelly quotes an 1875 opinion from the New York Times, where a writer of the time was "forced to the conclusion that the national game is not baseball, but poker."

"Rich and poor, high and low, good and bad, male and female yield to the fascinations of Poker" another observer wrote in 1889.
