Based on the sociological imagination a term proposed by C. Wright Mills, how would an individual view a little league baseball game?

Explanation:

C. Wright Mills (1916-1962) was an American sociologist, most famous for coining a term sociological imagination in the same titled book The Sociological Imagination (1959). In his book, he presented a model of analysis for interdependence of experiences within a persons biography, the social structure and historical development. The sociological imagination is most often used in sociology to explain the nature of sociology and its relevance in daily life. Having this in mind, little league baseball game could be seen as a type of ritual manifested by the children playing baseball. But, the more importantly, there are other things going on in the background, like gathering of parents who like to hang out together, exchange of stories and experiences, consumption of goods and services, all these things encompassed in one process.
