>20 friends that all want to play finnish baseball
>>66629019
is there a country that utterly dominates one sport like Finland dominates this? Remember it has to have some kind of world championship.
>>66629147
USA basketball.
>>66629121
Who would not want to play finnish baseball?
Who's the greatest Finnish baseball player of all time?
And is his name Pekka?
>>66629182
Good point, fin bro
Hit a walk off home run
>>66629156
they have losses, finland doesn't have a single one.
>>66629019
You don't.
Finnish shitball should die off as soon as possible so all the athletic potential that is locked into it could be funneled into meaningful sports like hockey, skiing etc.
>>66629019
You don't. You cling to the greatest, 'most viewed and entertaining sport on earth' like the sheep you all are
>>66629304
I see you taking your advice to heart then.
>>66629304
My favorite sports are soccer and hockey
>>66629290
>meaningful
>hockey
>skiing
AAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
You go to a finnish elementary school

>is there a country that utterly dominates one sport like Finland dominates this?
Canada's soccer team is so powerful it isn't allowed to win any games, for fear of upsetting the FIFA brass.
>>66629347
It was a poor point.
what came first, baseball or pesapallo
>>66629360
a point that went straight over your head and i doubt you still understand.
>>66629361
Baseball.
A Finn went to America, watched a few games of baseball and thought, "Nice game, a bit slow and boring though".
Then he came back and tried to make the game a bit faster and less boring.
>>66629370
I understand it, yet it was still a poor point.
No need to get mad at me for your own failures
>>66629374
based. And now there was a news article while back that i read. Some american sport journalist came to finland and fell love with the pesäpallo and said that baseball should learn from it. top kek.
>>66629390
>i-i get it h-honestly.
no need to call someone mad just because the pointed out your idiocy.
Finnish baseball is fun as fuck. Those who disagree cant either throw, run, or were always picked last at school for teams.
>>66629406
you really need to be less of a self-important cunt
Im just saying it was piss poor point, and there was no need to be so mad about your own mistakes
>>66629406
if you were going for cheeky banter, it wasn't funny
if you were going for high-horse rekking, you weren't incisive or insightful
best stop posting while you still can m8

However

>>66637646
You can try but it will almost always fail.
>>66637724
Just like everything else in life
>>66637646
yes you can run at any time, i did cheeky runs between strikes from 2nd to 3rd base every time i could when i was in school because i was a fast runner and nobody could throw the ball straight from home base to 3rd base
theres a special cheeky swing style called "näpy" where you just lift the bat vertically and thus are almost guaranteed to hit the ball and make it roll between 1st and 2nd base so you can make the run to the 1st base
>>66637646
If the throw up is high enough to make sick sprint dash to first base
>>66637722
absolute madman

>>66637842
