An Honest Cultural Misunderstanding

"...I believe it has something to do with things on the ground called “bases”."

It is true that despite language and cultural differences, body language is largely universally understood. This may have been the case with one player who allegedly injured a middle finger in “pre-game warm-up exercises”. Conspiracy theorists consider other possible causes.

There was also apparently some confusion during the game about when one should stop running. Not being an authority on the subject, I believe it has something to do with things on the ground called “bases”.

There was some falling down as well again this game for no visible reasons but it may have something to do with the new coffee. Apparently it has affected the players and may have been associated with the several injuries incurred before and during the game.
