[GIN ANTONIC]

When pitchers throw the ball in Australia does it spin in the opposite direction?

Also, I think I have this right but the rules are pretty much the same as North American baseball but when you run the bases you go 3rd -> 2nd -> 1st -> home?

I guess that's it... oh and instead of singing take me out tot he ballgame there's a kangaroo boxing match during the 7th inning stretch.

The 7th inning is actually the 3rd. Games end after the final out is recorded in the 1st.

We actually just play Knifey Spoony until someone is clubbed with a bat. That person is fined 900 Dollarydoos afterward.

Tobias, did you accept a 6-hr collect call from the states!?!

Just curious, but what sports align with what seasons in Australia?

Baseball and cricket in the summer - November to around February
Soccer in the mid spring and throughout the summer - October to April
Aussie Rules Football and Rugby League - mid autumn through the winter into early spring - March to September/October

is it true that instead of suspensions for infractions, each player is subjected to "just a little kick in the bum" with a wingtip.

Baseball? That's an odd name. I'd have called it chazwazza.

That's New Zealand.

pretty sure in new zealand they make the player work it off in the prancing pony.
