00:00Take me out to the ball game, take me out to the crowd, buy me some peanuts and cracker
00:11jacks.
00:12Come on, let's hear it for Julie.
00:15Gentlemen, let's play.
00:18The vote has been passed to begin construction on the currently unnamed middle school in
00:24Douglas.
00:25Let's go, last one, let's make it count.
00:29It means building on top of Soldier's Field where recreational baseball teams have faced
00:34off for decades.
00:36There's just one big backyard, my backyard.
00:41I need to be put down.
00:50Last game.
00:53Now we're sitting down to it.
00:59Time!
01:01You play ball, kid?
01:02Yeah.
01:05Do yourself a favor, don't.
01:10It's all combat.
01:12Life, this game, combat.
01:18It's nice to be back on this grass field.
01:20It's a shame those pricks are building a school here.
01:23Can't quit this field, huh?
01:28Doesn't want to stop playing.
01:29Well, what are we doing here?
01:30Come on!
01:32Get going, now the whole game will be pointless.
01:35It was already pointless, fellas.
01:39Hey, Meade, throw the Ephus.
01:41Ephus pitches a type of curveball so unnaturally slow that it confuses the batter.
01:46Makes him lose track of time.
01:47It's kind of like baseball.
01:48I'm looking around for something to happen.
01:50Poof, game's over.
01:53I've been watching this for an hour and I still don't understand baseball.
