[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.

What is baseball?

[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.

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.

Hitting something is hardly a challenge. This baseball sounds like quite an entertaining game.

I think you might enjoy it. As soon as I'm done gauging interest and assessing skill levels, I think it'd be beneficial to all to hold some practice sessions in which everyone can participate and learn.

I would be interested in at least seeing how this game is played.

I'll let you know as soon as I have an update then.

Greatly appreciated. [ he offers a polite bow. ]

It's the least I can do.
