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.

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

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.

shouldn’t’ve made this so public. sometimes it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission.

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

Have you met Doss and company? I don't think that floats with that crowd.

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

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

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

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

That's called suspense, Ms. Eva. It's a slow burn! The anticipation's what makes it real fun.

I’m in until we figure out hockey.

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

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

If we add fighting to baseball do we need hockey?

I don't know, men in tight pants seems hard to beat

It does, which I guess in theory gives you time to rest if you have to run around a lot.

Exactly, it’s nice to look at.

We would have to find a way to get some good ones up here if we’re going to play.

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

Thankfully they weren't as tight as they look, or there wouldn't have been any running.

Yes. Baseball players try to fight and it’s embarrassing to watch.

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

You don’t prefer a blaze of glory? Seems a bit suspect coming from a pilot.

What's wrong with baseball players fighting? Is it because they don't have knife feet?

They mainly just swarm, point and yell.
