I LMAO!


Let me go one better, and this REALLY pisses off the BASEBALL is pure American fanatics. I contend that the game is a derivative of Rounders which has been around since the 16th century in the British Empire.

Even a step further, I contend that anyone who reads up on this game will readily recognize that it more simulates softball than baseball. And another step, slowpitch more than fastpitch.

And while I'm on a role, Abner Doubleday had zero, zip, nil, nada, nothing to do with baseball or its discovery. The baseball folks ripped-off the game they claim to be their own!

cute ? ? ? ? little ? ? ? ? man
