Baseball is popular in the USA and played with 9 players on each team, and a game must have 2 teams.
I've never been a big fan of baseball, it takes a long time for a game to develop.  I do enjoy going to the park with friends and drinking beer during the game, though.
Plus there is no clock so they must play 9 innings regardless of time.
Yep, and they can go into extra innings for HOURS
Then they get extra innings if it's a tie/
I lived in Texas when I was a kid, and Nolan Ryan was the best pitcher in the league at the time.  He threw a mean fastball.  Any idea how fast he could throw?
Yea he is good. He threw 100 mph and more being a right hander. But there is some new Japanese kid that throws faster coming to MLB.
That's pretty exciting!  Baseball is big in Japan.  I think it was pretty popular there even before World War II.
Yea but you know we are going to snag him up fast! He is better than Babe Ruth I read.
Do you know what Babe Ruth's eal name was?
