This document provides an alien's perspective on the game of baseball. It explains that baseball involves hitting a ball with a bat to score points, and that men and women typically play separate but similar sports, with baseball for men and softball for women. The document also suggests that spectators enjoy watching because it makes them feel part of a community and it's impressive to see skills they don't have. A team is defined as a group working together toward a common goal, and spectators don't join in on the field because it would break with tradition and protocol.

1. Alien Base Ball Game
1. What is a game? This is the game of baseball. The goal of the game is to score the most points by
hitting a ball with a bat (made out of wood or metal).
2. Why are there no female players? Sports in this world are separated by gender. There is a sport
similar to this but for women but its called softball.
3. Why do people get so passionate watching other people play games? I believe it’s the feeling of
community and family aspect. And the thought that these people can do something that the spectators
cant.
4. What is a team? A team is a group of people that work together toward a common goal.
5. Why can't the people in the seats just go down on the f ield and join in? Because its not protocol. Its
something that should not be done. It like theatre. You wouldn't go on stage to talk with them.
