No need to get worked up over something so trivial.
You'd think that. But there many of those who don't understand there is a difference between a ball hitting the bat and the bat hitting a ball also believe that the runner must run in a direct line between the bases. Heck, there are still those who believe that baseball is a game between two teams of nine players.....

Agreed, but saying it's a basepath instead of a baseline doesn't alleviate that problem. Someone who believes you must run directly from base to base, will believe that whether it's called a baseline, basepath or anything else.

Remember, not all lines are straight ...a circle for example.
