ive only ever seen it played by americans at 2am on channel 5

Shit, we thought you were asleep, you weren't supposed to see that.


I grew up with modified corkball. The bat is more like a broomstick than a baseball bat and the pitcher throws a tennisball. All you need is a homeplate (often a piece of cardboard or done with chalk) and a wall (side of a school building). You can play with just 2 poeple, you are either batting or pitching. Mano a mano, all the way. 5 balls, 2 strikes, foul ball is an out.

For people who haven't played baseball, there is something really satisfying in crushing a pitch and admiring its flight in the opposite direction.

I agree with that

You should watch a good international cricket test match. It starts at 11 am on a Thursday and finishes 5 days later about 5pm on Monday. It can - and often does end in a draw.

I suggest just one match and then you can return to Baseball with renewed enthusiasm as everything will appear to happen at 100 miles an hour.

Actually, I quite like cricket but that is different matter.

As someone once said "it matters not who won or lost but how you played the game"

I love to play baseball. It's fun as shit. But I can't stand to watch it.
Maybe I am TOOO American because I went to a football game that ended in a draw once and it was like almost having an orgasm. In the end I want to see how one team perseveres over the other.

In the American "World Series Baseball" how many other countries are in the tournament to start with???

But it does.......Canada's got two teams.

All other countries are just figments of your imagination, except Mexico and Cuba.
And everyone knows they're no good at baseball.

By the way, I hope baseball does not come to Washington DC. We&#39;ve got too much traffic already and they are trying to bring the Montreal Expos here. We&#39;ve got at least 15 BRAND NEW buildings going up not including the new Washington Convention Center and when there tear the old one down they are probably going to put 3 more structures on it&#39;s land.

Talk about a big terrorist target JEEEZ

KEEP BASEBALL AWAY, WE DON&#39;T NEED IT
