Hi! Do you like baseball?
I do like baseball, do you know how the game is scored?
Instead of offense we say at bat. Each team has a hitter. The ultimate goal is to have the hitter go around the bases and back to home plate. That makes it a home run.
Thats right. I'm from america, thats where baseball was invented, even though some people say otherwise.
Yes. Some people say that it is based on Cricket from the UK. Do you have a favorite baseball team?
My favorite baseball team are the Atlanta Braves, from my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. What kind of things besides baseball do you like? Do you like moives? Do you like The Marvel Comics movies?
My favorite team is the Orioles because their name sounds similar to my favorite cookie, Oreos. I don't like the Marvel movies. They are too formulaic. Have you played baseball as a child?
Yes, I've played baseball as a Child. My Uncle was a coach for minor league teams as well.
That's great! I remember playing teeball as a child. I stopped playing because once I got older I realized Saturday mornings were for Power Rangers, not sports.
