Did Whitman really say that?


Did Whitman really say the quote Annie quotes about him seeing great things in the baseball? If so does anybody know where it was written, what work I mean?
thanks

I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us. ~Walt Whitman
