Now Finalè to the Shore (To Tennyson)
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)
This has been widely attributed to Whitman, and no one else, but without definite source. It has sometimes been cited as being from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle (sometimes with a date of 23 July 1846), where Whitman had been an editor, but its presence on that date is not apparent in the online historical archives http://www.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/eagle/ of that publication.
Brian Cronin, in "Did 'Bull Durham' misquote Walt Whitman on baseball?" http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-bull-durham-baseball-20120328,0,5200453.story, Los Angeles Times (28 March 2012), suggests that this is (loosely) paraphrased from a remark of September 1888 reported in Horace L. Traubel, With Walt Whitman in Camden, Vol. 2:
I like your interest in sports ball, chiefest of all base-ball particularly: base-ball is our game: the American game: I connect it with our national character. Sports take people out of doors, get them filled with oxygen generate some of the brutal customs (so-called brutal customs) which, after all, tend to habituate people to a necessary physical stoicism. We are some ways a dyspeptic, nervous set: anything which will repair such losses may be regarded as a blessing to the race. We want to go out and howl, swear, run, jump, wrestle, even fight, if only by so doing we may improve the guts of the people: the guts, vile as guts are, divine as guts are!

From the Preface to the 1855 edition of <i>Leaves of Grass</i>
“I said: "Baseball is the hurrah game of the republic!"”
He was hilarious: "That's beautiful: the hurrah game! well — it's our game: that's the chief fact in connection with it: America's game: has the snap, go fling, of the American atmosphere — belongs as much to our institutions, fits into them as significantly, as our constitutions, laws: is just as important in the sum total of our historic life."
