Explaining baseball
The concept of baseball;
Some people, just don't seem to get the concept of baseball so I thought
I would send out this little ditty which explains
the game in simple terms, terms that everyone can understand.
This is the game played by two teams, one out the other in.
The one that is in sends players out one at a time to see if they can
get in
before they get out. If they get out before they get in, they come in,
but it doesn't count. However, if they get in before they get out, it
does count.
When the ones out get three outs from the ones in, before they get in
without getting out, the team that is out comes in and the team in goes
out to get those going in, out, before they get in without being out!
(Stay with me now)
When both teams have been in and out 9 times, the game is over.
The team with the most IN without being OUT, before coming IN, wins, unless
the ones IN are equal. In which case, the last ones in go out to get
the ones IN, OUT before they get IN without being OUT.
The game will end when each team has the same number of INS-OUT,
but one team has more IN without being OUT before coming in.
Now, I can't explain it any more simply than that! |
