[video] 5th grievance.  
Okay. Baseball. I'm sure many of you have already heard America babbling on and on and on about it. So this is where the administrative part comes in.

Hi. I'm Canada and apparently I'm the paperwork guy and managing things around here. Now that that's out of the way, if you're interested in playing, please let me know. As well, I'd like to know if you have experience playing or if you've never heard of it before but wish to learn the game, or anything in between. As well, if you've played before, let me know what position you're potentially interested in.

I'll also throw this out there for those who are interested in participating but not in playing on the field. We will be in need of team managers, base coaches, and umpires, among other things. The only thing I ask is that someone who definitely knows the game to be a manager as I'll be needing them to work closely with me.

So... that's it for now. Thanks for your time.

I'm a good pitcher, Mattie...

[Awesome. He's grinning widely at that one.] You're number one on my list, Red.
[identity profile] pristinestar.livejournal.com on March 29th, 2011 05:41 am (UTC)
Haha! You'll cheer for our team, then!
[identity profile] vimyridge.livejournal.com on March 29th, 2011 05:43 am (UTC)
Of course I will. It'll be hard to displace me as fan number one.

I'm still interested in playing, but I also have some managing experience in case you're running short on those.
[identity profile] vimyridge.livejournal.com on March 27th, 2011 08:16 pm (UTC)
I'll definitely be keeping you in mind for that as well, then. [He's probably going to need all the help he can get.]

Glad to hear that. I'm Mion, by the way.

What is baseball?
[identity profile] vimyridge.livejournal.com on March 27th, 2011 08:21 pm (UTC)

[Oh boy. How to best describe this...]

Baseball is a game played with a bat and ball. There are two teams of nine players and it lasts nine innings. During an inning, each team gets a chance to bat and play on the field. The pitcher throws the ball to the batter, and the batter tries to hit the ball into the field. A player has to proceed around the diamond and a team scores once a player crosses home plate. Each team gets three outs before they're done batting. An out is three strikes. A strike is missing the ball three times during batting. It doesn't have to be in a row, either. Just three times. An out is also made if a player on the opposite team catches the ball after it is hit or if they throw it to a base before a player running to it makes it to the base.

[ he listens patiently. ]

An interesting game. It sounds as though it requires refined skills.

[He can't help but sigh softly as he nods in agreement.] It does take a bit of skill, yes. One needs to catch and throw the ball as well as be able to hit it.

But with a little practice, it can be picked up easily enough as I think the hardest part is really the hitting.

You're Canada?
[identity profile] vimyridge.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2011 02:12 am (UTC)
Or Matthew Williams, if you prefer.

But to answer your question, yes. I am Canada.
[identity profile] bringslife.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2011 02:20 am (UTC)
How can you be Canada and your friend be America? Those are countries. Unless you're just sort of-- nicknamed after them.
[identity profile] vimyridge.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2011 02:29 am (UTC)
We're actually the personification of our respective countries. In our world, every country has a representative.

Oi, what's with you countries trying to advertise baseball when Quidditch is clearly the superior game?

[forgive his attitude.]
[identity profile] vimyridge.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2011 02:14 am (UTC)
[It doesn't really seem to bother him.] To be perfectly fair, I was sort of pulled into this without much say. If I were to be frank with you, I'd prefer trying to play Quidditch over baseball, but I sadly missed the intial push.
[identity profile] chasingstag.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2011 02:19 am (UTC)
I did agree to give baseball a try if America said he'd play Quidditch. [rubs a hand through his hair] Still don't see how it'll be interesting without anything flying-- but I said I would.

If you'd still like to play Quidditch, though, I might be having people come try to actually play for positions pretty soon. It's never too late.
[identity profile] vimyridge.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2011 02:28 am (UTC)
You know... I can make sure that America comes to try Quidditch. [Whether America likes it or not.] Though I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not. He can be obsessive.

I- I wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes.

Because I'm a late person, and ya see, baseball and clutz go together.
I played a little ball in my day. I'll play whatever position you give me.
[identity profile] vimyridge.livejournal.com on April 1st, 2011 03:14 am (UTC)
PERFECT! clearly there's a spot infield for him. or outfield. XD
Perfect. All are pretty much open right now as I'm just taking an initial survey. Once I get the list of those interested, I'll be putting together a training day and all so people can play around or learn if they need to and figure out where their strengths are and everything.
