a drinking game, similar to beer pong, in which four cups are alined in a straight line and the teams alternate shots to score runs and get on base. The cups represent a single, double, triple and homerun moving from front to back, with the single having the least beer in it and the homerun having the most. Each team sets a line up and then begins shooting at the opponents' cups to get runners on base. Three misses by the team represents three out and the end of an inning. At this point the other team shoots.
Additionally, steals can occur by playing flip cup in the middle of the table. If the runner flips first, the runner advances a base. Otherwise, its an out.

Get the baseball mug.a boring sport for a bunch of fat lazy people who want to make an excuse for being athletes. They get paid millions for sitting on their asses then spitting tobacco then probably actually getting near the ball 5 times in about 4 hours. Totally gay and probably worse than nascar.

Get the Baseball mug.The most boring sport. Sports like basketball, football, hockey, soccer, and lacrosse are much more exciting and fun to watch. It is not America's pastime, football is. It doesn't take as much athleticism as football or basketball, and doesn't take as much stamina as soccer or hockey. Lacrosse is also much harder to play. The game stops practically every five seconds, which makes watching it impossible. Most athletes are naturally gifted, while most baseball players are only good becuase they take steroids or some kind of performance enhancer.
Guy 1: Hey, wanna watch the baseball game? Derek Jeter has an amazing .321 batting average and 92 runs!
Guy 2: You're a faggot.

Get the baseball mug.A commercialised version of the game 'rounders', popular among little girls in Britain and other commonwealth countries. Sri Lanka also had a similar game which they called 'ell-ey'.
In general, baseball is considered to be an American substitute for cricket. A 'baseball is to cricket what checkers is to chess' sort of thing.
Back in the 1700s in Boston (USA), cricket was played by English immigrants, particularly the ones that considered themselves to be upper class. But Boston had also acquired a plebeian and Irish flavour. The game of rounders, an earlier form of cricket which seems to have been favoured by the Irish, as well as by English children in the 16th century, became the game of choice among the youth.
The Boston cricketers of the time encouraged rounders as a secondary diversion, and even allowed it to be played in their cricket fields by those who preferred an alternative to the more formal sport of cricket. So 'early baseball' (ie US Rounders) grew up in the USA under cricket's benign umbrella. It stayed that way for about the first hundred years of its existence.
By the 1900s, cricket and baseball were looking far more different from each other than in baseball's earlier years. And by that time, it had become an issue of "cricket OR baseball" in the USA...and everyone knows what happened.

"I am a former collegiate baseball player who was always curious about cricket, but never found the time, or the avenue, to explore it - until Fox Sports World broadcast Zimbabwe in India, five years ago. The intricacies of the game speak to the strategic, patient baseball fan within me."
