Lie of the Day #411
December 23rd, 2007 by FweebBaseball was not invented in the United States, it was secretly leaked to prominent figures of the American underground by Swedish merchants as a subversive means of destroying the American psyche. The idea was to present a game that’s fun to play, but incredibly dull to watch. This confuses the mind and instigates in-fighting among the populace. It did not work quite as expected, but echoes of this exist to this day as angry fans hurl insults (and occasionally food) at umpires.
