BASEBALL
(as explained to a foreign visitor)
You have two sides one out in the field and one in.
Each man that's not on the side that's in goes out and when he's out he
comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
When three men are out the side that's out comes in and the side
that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When both sides have been in and out nine times including the not outs

"All about Baseball" is reportedly just a slightly modified version
of an original piece about Cricket, from the Marybourne Cricket Club
