I don’t know jack shit about baseball
My wife and I were out for a walk yesterday when we ran across our neighbors. The whole family was gathered on the front stoop of their rowhome like they were packing up to head out for the evening. The guy and his kids were all wearing Phillies jerseys. I'm thinking - maybe they're going to play in a little league game or going out to toss a ball around at the park. Who knows what people do when they have kids?
I said "Where you headed?"
Dude laughed, thinking I was being sarcastic and said, "Yeah it's gonna be a good game tonight."
I don't follow baseball. I know the Phillies are the current champs and all, but the sport is just fucking boring. Apparently my neighbors had tickets and were headed to the ballpark. I guess it was obvious to everyone but me.
At least the guy thought I was trying to be funny and didn't openly mock me for being completely oblivious. Or maybe he thought I was being a moron and he decided to be nice about it.

Yeah, I don’t like it much either. It’s just an excuse to get a sunburn, eat bad hot dogs, and drink beer. I’d usually be up for such things, but I burn so easily.
Curling. Now there’s a sport you can get behinid!

Definitely not my favorite sport. It takes a long time for a game to end and I’m always annihilated by the end.

In the States I’d occasionally get some stranger ask me what I thought about (insert team name). Most of the time I’d just have a blank expression when I asked what sport they played. It’s too bad y’all don’t have a good sport like Rugby.

Baseball is actually extremely interesting. It’s just a lot more subtle than most sports. It’s good on TV, but even better in person.
You have to pay attention to the game! Difficult for this ADD nation of ours.
