I have a feeling that I might have posted this hilarious English commentary of a baseball game before but it’s so funny that I’m happy to post it again.
It’s been said that Britain and the United States are two countries separated by a common language. Listening to this commentary illustrates the point. The question is whether Englishmen are more baffled by baseball than Americans are by cricket.

To answer your question, Joseph, cricket just perplexes us on this side of the Atlantic:
The British triumvirate of cricket, rugby, and soccer will never understand the American triumvirate of baseball, football, and basketball.
Thank goodness for golf.
Alas, Dena, I tend to agree with Chesterton that golf is best defined as a good walk spoiled!
Speaking as a Red Sox fan, baseball hasn’t given me much to smile about lately, but at least I got some chuckles out of this–so thanks for posting.
