you see, boys, those white things out there? those are *bases*. you get on them by standing at the hexagonal one & hitting that hard white thing we call a baseball with this stick of wood. that's called a bat. the idea is to take the bat & hit the ball somewhere there isn't a guy wearing a uniform that doesn't look like yours. then you run like hell to that white square over there. the goal is to get from there to the next base until you finally cross back over the hexagonal one where you started for something called a *run*. think you've got the idea now?
