The geometry involved in baseball has always interested me. As a mature game, where the defensive players go has been well worked out depending on where the ball is hit and whether there are men on base, even though it looks like a mad scramble. Then there are pitchers battles where there is not much offense but still great play. Baseball is more a game of fine points than most folks realize. It's also played by more normal-sized people - no seven footers or 350 pounders.
It's complex and takes a while to understand, sort of like understanding what's going on in the midfield in futbol.
