In the lead-up to then Prince Charles’s first official White House visit 56 years ago, the Washington Post published a story headlined: Baseball: A Guide for Royal Visitors.
“Prince Charles and Princess Anne of England will attend a baseball game when they come to America next month. No doubt, their Royal Highnesses will be baffled by the whole thing,” wrote Henry Owen in a 21 June 1970 story. “They will be too polite to say so, but later on, in the privacy of the embassy, they will probably ask their attendants: ‘Why do people go to baseball games?’”
