What's baseball?

Comments

It's a game.

[autos_da_fe]

...Care to elaborate?

[notquitecap]

Well, there's a pitcher, and he throws the ball. Someone from the other team has to hit the ball with a bat and then run around the field before someone catches it and touches him with it.

It's boring. I never liked it.

[autos_da_fe]

He hits it with a bat? [ like a.... ceramic one? ]

[ilpresto]

...You don't know what baseball is?

[autos_da_fe]

Sure I do. It's some sort of game with a ball, and bases, but no one's explained the bases yet.

[ilpresto]

Oh. Uh...

Gimme a sec! I'll draw something up!

A sport, using a bat and a ball and two teams of players.. I was confused of what it was until around twenty years ago, as well.

It became quite popular..

[autos_da_fe]

Does the other team try to catch the ball?

[brbmodernizing]

...

One team tries to hit it, and the other tries to catch it, in a sense. It gets a bit more complicated than that, though.

[autos_da_fe]

What objects do the teams need to play?

[moarcowbell]

Baseball isn't really a game in the slightest. It's actually a test. A test to see who the strongest people are. When they pinpoint said fact, they use those players for experiments.

[autos_da_fe]

...Okay, well. What do you need to test baseball?

[moarcowbell]

A ball, a blunt object, and people willing to be observed for science.

[autos_da_fe]

Any kind of ball?

[dr_seahorse]

It's a type of game.

[autos_da_fe]

A sport, yeah. What makes it baseball?
