I have no idea, because for the longest time my only exposure to baseball was the baseball scene near the end of The Naked Gun, and it took me about 15 years to realize that the partial scenes don't add up given that at one point a team hits a grand slam with four players dancing across home plate, but on the scoreboard nobody ever scores four runs in an inning.
Sorry. My mind is adrift.
