If you have ever tried to watch a cricket match without knowing any of the rules, you could probably relate with the confusion of a first-time watcher of baseball.
Baseball, for all its history as America’s pastime, is a game with a seemingly endless list of rules and unique exceptions to those rules. It’s the kind of game where you have to explain the basics of three strikes for a strikeout and four balls for a walk before being like, “Oh, wait, it’s not a strikeout if you foul off a pitch with two strikes but it is a strikeout if you foul off a bunt attempt with two strikes. A bunt is …”
And then you’re talking for hours.
