The New Economic Policy (NEP) was an economic policy of the Soviet Union proposed by Vladimir Lenin in 1921 to address the economic challenges brought on by the Russian Civil War (1919-1922) and the failures of the policy of War Communism (1918-1921). The NEP represented a more market-oriented economic policy to foster economic growth in a country which had suffered severely due to war and revolution since 1915. The NEP created a new category of business people called NEPmen.

Baseball is a team sport popular in North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, and East Asia. The modern game was developed in the United States from early bat-and-ball games played in Britain and is known as the "national pastime" of the United States, although American football may arguably draw more fans and television viewership.
