Simple Explanation of Baseball

Sounds like Yogi doing an Aflac commercial.

The scarey thing, biggerpapi, is that I actually understood what you wrote

Oh, I'm not smart (?!) enough to come up with that!

Sounds like a George Carlin routine.

It's great ... gotta save that one.

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.

Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

That would be the explanation of Cricket, as emblazoned on tourist tea towels since the early '70's......

There is also one fella with a mask that determines if the ball is in or out. And if the ones that are out are truly out before they get back in. The fella with the mask has helpers because sometimes it is very difficult to determine if the ones that are out should stay out, go in, or are truly out.

I don't know, trojan. There are a lot of 'helpers' in the stands expressing their opinion to that guy in the mask and he doesn't pay a blind* bit of attention to them!

*the operative word

You forgot the simple rotational/linear apects....
