LITTLE LEAGUE
‘Do you think you could beat the world’s best little league player at baseball?’
‘What? Yes. Of course.’
‘Okay, wait a minute. Don’t be so confident. The kid’s, like, trained for this his whole life. You don’t even play baseball.’
‘Yeah, but, I mean, come on. It’s just a kid. Of course, I beat them at baseball. How old even is a kid in little league?’
‘I think up to sixteen years old.’
‘Oh, damn. Nevermind.’
‘See? Not so confident now, right?’
‘Okay, well I thought you meant, like, little little kids. The question wasn’t very fair.’
‘Oh well, I’m sorry.’
‘Don’t be sorry… So then how old are kids in the minor league?’
‘Uh, I think up to age eleven.’
‘Well then, in that case, I think I could beat the world’s best minor league player at baseball.’
‘Really?’
‘Oh yeah, I could! You think some eleven-year-old kid could swing a bat as hard as I can?’
‘Yes, I do.’
‘Whatever, man. I know I’d win.’
‘Sure, you would.’
‘I would. Really.’
‘I don’t even get how you’d beat the kid. Baseball isn’t a solo sport. Do you both have like, equally good teams on your sides?’
‘I don’t know. It’s your question. Either way, I win.’
‘But you have to consider that the kid goes to, like, practices three times a week and also made it into the minor leagues, which is a bigger accomplishment in the world of baseball than you have ever achieved.’
‘Sure, the kid owns the gear, but I’m like three times his height. I’m pretty sure it’s no contest.’
‘I wouldn’t be so sure, but whatever you say, man.’
‘Don’t get sour with me dude, you asked the question.’
‘Yeah, yeah, whatever.’
‘What about you, do you think you could beat him?’
‘Oh yeah, easy.’
