Take me out to the ballgame - NOT!!!
 
Hall of Shame. :nope:

I think that is baseball, right? I just can't figure what the game is about. :88) At school I played Volleyball (I did quite well), and I loved "Völkerball" - I was everybody's nightmare, so the others didn't like it as much. :smug: But baseball - the team collecting the most plates wins, yes? It seems to be a solitaire game, then. But what has a ball to do with it?

Thats some sort of rounders, but played by grown men and in silly costumes....right?

Oh, G-d...Europeans. :-?

Actually, that was minor league baseball (an affiliate of the Major League Atlanta Braves), and those kinds of things are generally part of the show, although he took it to an interesting extreme.

Within the "gentlemanly" context of baseball as a sport, managerial explosions are really quite traditional and a natural part of the game... the theory being that umpires will be less likely to start squeezing a team on close calls in the future.

I love baseball. :yep: :)

Cheers,

I like Baseball, understand about as much of it as I do cricket, but I like cricket too :up:

Good show by the manager, obviously running low on funds and couldn't afford a mascot for the light-entertainment ;) :lol:

I love baseball (recently, at least). Sunday was a 24-carat Red Sox heartbreaker

Or is it that one that looks a bit like Rugby with armour and helmets;)

I no longer consider baseball a true sport with all the body-enhancing drugs on the market nowadays. Todays' baseball players will never equal the likes of Hank Arronson or Babe Ruth.

I agree. Though it still beats that silly thing you Europeans like to call "football".
