I have lived in the US for manymanymany years now, and Baseball still eludes me, I can't for the life of me figure it out. The players wear pyjamas with knee socks and spit sunflower seeds, they stand on mounds and someone comes and steals the bases, and the people in the stands are allowed to catch the balls and take them home to keep. Very peculiar game.
Now soccer I understand.........
My sincere apologies to all Baseball fans. Feel free to make fun of soccer - or of opera, I like opera too.
