So board games are all well and good — I ain't got a thing against 'em — but what this ship really needs is a way to play some honest to God competitive sports. And when I say competitive sports, I mean baseball. I'd settle for basketball in a pinch, but baseball's the great American pastime for a reason.

Might just be I’m getting to that stage where I'm starting to climb the walls from not being able to do much of anything. Not that Saldanha Bay was exactly a thrill ride, but at least you could stretch your legs without bumping into bulkheads.

Anyway. If any of y'all can figure out a way to play baseball in space, I'll owe you one so big it'll have interest on it.

[murphyy]

think i’d take any option somebody could figure out a way to make work.

[jinking]

I feel like the hangars are the best bet, but I don't know if Doss and the squad leaders would ever go for it.

Sefi/Casper.

[backdrive]

Hej! Who do you think the hottest pilot is?

[witlessbay]

baseball's canadian but ill let it go if we get to play

[jinking]

Yeah, but no one calls it the great Canadian pastime.

[reidings]

I’ve never played baseball but it seems fun. I like their outfits.

[adequacies]

It seems a lot of waiting around. The outfits are the best part.

[jinking]

I won't go as far as to say the outfits are the best part, but they're pretty damn neat.

[jetting]

I’m in until we figure out hockey.

[chemveil]

If we add fighting to baseball do we need hockey?

[jinking]

All I know about hockey really is that a lot of fighting's involved.

[highvolt]

how has someone not fashioned hockey sticks already??? is this on me now, am i the one??? we could play street hockey since i doubt we're simulating proper ice on a ship.

[jaxsons]

I've been trying to figure out how to play ball up here for the last 8 years.

[jinking]

That doesn't exactly fill a man with hope.

[andcaboodle]

Basketball seems like it comes with a lower risk of breaking something; that's probably easier to make work

[jinking]

Yeah, but that lower risk sucks all the fun out of it.

[delilahs]

If you can make it work, will you show me how to play?

[jinking]

I would be happy to show you how to play even if we can't make it work, Ms. Delilah.

[heelhook]

hallway football. full contact

[jinking]

How would that work?

[cjacobs]

So, projectiles and inside spaceships do not tend to go well together.

[jinking]

Even in an empty hangar, sir?

[philiip]

Fox! Glad to see you managed a successful boarding.

[jinking]

Ha ha ha, sir. Very funny.

[agyieus]

have we considered soccer

[jinking]

Are we that desperate?

[finotti]

I'll start commentating on every day life so it feels like a match

[jinking]

Deal. Your color commentary could make paint drying feel like a main event.

[agueyegrey]

And once again we return to my incredible suggestion of setting up a boxing ring.

[murphyy]

don’t hate it. doesn’t need to be boxing tho.

[ewhitmore]

forget baseball. kickball would be better

[agyieus]

i'd also be in for this

[griiff]

Pretty sure there ain't enough space to get a proper diamond here, but maybe we can sweet talk Carl for an add on?

[jinking]

You don't like the hangar plan either?

[hbatteux]

I never really understood baseball, but I will cheerlead for whatever you come up with.

Although, are we an American ship?

[jinking]

With pom poms and everything?

Nah, we're not. This is a global affair.

[arasch]

There's the Wii. Don't know if it has baseball.

[jinking]

Video games ain't the same, ma'am.
