What if the American sports scene had turned out differently? We now have three major sports, 31/2 if you include hockey, mainly because of the advent of television in the 1960's and 70's. As strange as it may seem to us today, soccer as a professional sport was just as valid as baseball, basketball, and football for much of the first half of the twentieth century. The Ten Shirt is a fun look back at a history that might have been - if only American soccer had been in the right place, at the right time.
