Bucky: See, that clue that baseball is boring is right there in it's name. Satchel: Mm-hm. Mm-mm Bucky: A base is an immovable object. It may as well be called stationary ball. Or anchor ball. I don't know another game whose name conjures such a sense of inactivity. Satchel: Crickets? I mean cricket? Bucky: Well played, sir. And hey! That's where stationaryball came from!

Tetherball. Now that is a stationary ballgame. I never saw where the “fun” came in, myself.I once described cricket to an English friend as “a cross between croquet and baseball.” The silence was deafening.

Bucky is obviously channeling the recently departed AND aptly named baseball hater, Beano Cook.

The Brits say baseball more closely resembles rounders than cricket. They then quickly point out that rounders is a girls game.

The baseball player is officially a recurring character, now…..And it looks like he got a hit, maybe a double!

Baseball is a fascinating game for those who know the many nuances of the scoring, but as a faithful Yankee fan, I must admit the hitters on my team must have been snoozing when they came to the batters box in the recent ALCS. Oh well, maybe next year.

Um, neither Chicago baseball team made the playoffs this year…. The Bears, on the other hand, are doing well… so far.

But RSR, while football players Take a Knee (I’m guessing that’s the skit you linked without actually watching it, a no-no from work) baseball games just end.Having only watched probably a total of 45 minutes of baseball my entire adult life (and that’s more than a couple days, let me assure you) I guess I have no right to say anything.

I once knew a dancer named Cricket. She was from Paris and even boys like me had crushes on her.

Too funny. I love George. Only he would ask why we take temperature readings at the airport when no one lives there.
