That’s a funny way of playing baseball. I’ll admit that it’s marginally more interesting than regular baseball, but I have no idea what’s going on in both cases. Although sports in general are not my strong suit, I can easily see that they’re not too familiar with the subtleties of Major League Baseball. First off, you’re supposed to attack the umpire with a sword, not the baseball. Baseballs are expensive.

Secondly, I don’t think the one player is really in the proper attire. If you show me a video of Babe Ruth playing baseball in flip-flops and a bathrobe, I’ll eat by hat. Third, the audience, the stadium, and the rest of the players appear to be missing in action. I’d avoid anyone trying to play baseball with a sword, too, but I would assume that a few people other than the camera crew would have stayed to watch. Then again, there’s no real reason to go to a baseball game, sword or no sword, if you can just watch it on TV anyways.
