"
Baseball, huh?" has
two uses:
1) a direct replacement for the phrase "That tracks"
2) as a meaningless response to anything.
The phrase is less frequently used in it's original meaning of "That tracks", and more often it is used as a punchline to subvert expectations; to reference the absurdity of mentioning
baseball when it's irrelevant, whilst pretending to be unaware of the irrelevance.
Originated from YouTuber "Al Jokes", when he made a sketch about someone misunderstanding the meaning of the two-part phrase "Baseball, huh? That tracks", and mistakenly using "Baseball, huh?" in place of "That tracks". The phrase has been transformed by the
internet hive-mind into a "The Waffle House Has Found Its New Host" type phrase, where it's spread is far beyond the original source to the point it now has little association. It has become an
internet phenomenon larger than what it was originally imagined to be.
