You know, not everybody plays baseball, but want to know how. I think that this is the first post like this on SF, so stick with me. If you can't read long paragraphs, then go to Google Translate and copy then paste it then play it in English so that you can keep up. Here we go.
Baseball is probably the most complex sport on Earth. Let's start with the basics. There are people in line to bat. When the batter is up, the batter is in one of the rectangles called batter's boxes. There is a left one and a right one. The first batter to bat in the inning is in the left batter's box, and the next batter goes to the right batter's box, and it keeps on alternating. Other than that, when you hit the ball, right that second run from home plate to first base. The bases are in order from home plate, first, second, and third base in order COUNTERCLOCKWISE. I put it in all caps to make sure you were paying attention. Counterclockwise is the opposite direction of where the hand goes on an analog clock, where an analog clock is the clock that is a circle and has numbers from 1 to 12 going around. But are we talking about time or baseball? After you run all the bases and touch home plate, you get a point. A home run is when you hit the ball really far. In a stadium, a home run is when you literally hit the ball into the audience. When a home run occurs, the batter runs all the rest of the bases all the way back to home plate in one turn, along with all the rest of the people who are on bases 1-3. Alright, hitting the ball takes you to the next base, but not always. If the ball goes behind the foul line, then it's a foul ball and you have to try again. A foul ball counts as a strike, but once you have two strikes, a foul ball doesn't count as a strike anymore, and to get an out with strikes you're gonna have to miss the ball by not swinging it while the ball is in the strike zone or to swing the ball while it's in the strike zone, but to miss it when you swing. Another way to get a strike is to swing the bat while the ball ends up in the ball zone, which is over the head or under the waist, so if the ball is in any of those areas, then don't swing. If you get four balls in a row, you get a free walk which means you get to run to first base without the bat even touching the ball at all. Behind the batter is the catcher, who catches the ball if the result is a ball or a strike, so that the ball doesn't roll all around Candy Land. If someone in the infield catches the the ball in any way, except for trying to catch the ball but the ball jumps out of the mitt like a suicide fish jump out of the water, you're out. If someone in the outfield catches the ball without missing one bit, you're out also. After three outs, both teams change sides and the inning ends. A baseball game can have up to nine innings. On the next side of the baseball field we have the outfield, the infield, and the pitcher's base. The pitcher's base is where the pitcher stands. The pitcher throws the ball toward the batter. A bad throw will cause a a ball to be in the ball zone, and when the batter doesn't hit the ball in the ball zone that makes a ball, and four balls will cause the batter to make a free walk, so the pitcher will avoid it at all costs. There's the basics of baseball for 'ya.

Baseball is complex but I think American Football is a bit more complex

| Oh, really? Can you make a thread explaining the rules of American football? All I know is that if the ball goes through the U-shaped thingy it makes a touchdown. I don't even know what a touchdown is. |
