Base-Ball is its Own Exceeding High Reward

With only one week to go until pitchers and catchers report to spring training, the wait for baseball is becoming harder and harder to stand.  With that in mind, I figured this would be a good time to distract everyone with how hilarious old-timey baseball is.

Take a look at this gem, which Abreana thoughtfully passed along to Rockiescast while she was doing some research.  A big part of what makes old-timey baseball so hilarious is language.  And I don’t just mean “base-ball” terminology, I mean the frilly Victorian language that was used in print and in speech in those times.  Add to that the outdated style of play and the amazing facial hair trends of the era, and you’ve got one hilarious situation.  Enter Conan O’Brien, who clearly recognizes these elements of old-timey hilarity.  This video is a few years old, but it’s still funny enough to watch repeatedly to pass the time until baseball begins anew.
