âCalvinâ and âHobbesâ(playing âtwo-man baseballâ get more action in than MLB in three games (only thing more boring than MLB is golf) ! ! ! ! !
This reminds me of games of soccer I had with my own reflection who was the nearest thing I had to an imaginary friend and was more of an imaginary friend than Hobbes is since Watterson has explained that he didnât see Hobbes as imaginary and didnât limit him to Calvinâs imagination.
I called my reflection/imaginary friend âgoalieâ and kicked the ball to the base of the mirror. My reflection appeared to be kicking the ball back to me. Hobbes, of course, is more complex than this. Too complex for either Calvin or Bill Watterson to fully understand.
When our daughter was in Little League one of the girls (little Kelly) made an unassisted triple play in less than five seconds. She was playing third base, no outs, when the batter connected and the runners at second and third took off. Kelly caught the fly, tagged third, and ran down the runner from second. The crowd really did go wild!
I was the least player on the least team in the townâs softball league. I mostly sat on the bench and taunted the other team, âWe wonât win and you canât make us!â Once, we had so many on vacation that the coach had to put me in or forfeit the game. So he put me on second where he figured the other guys could cover for me and I wouldnât do much harm. So I was second baseman, a runner on first and one out. The hit went into right field. The fielder picked up the ball and tossed it to me so I stepped on second and tossed it to the first baseman. Later in the game, the same thing happened. âWhat?â the coach yelled, âIn desperation, I put you on second where you might not screw up and you turn a double play! TWICE!â
Ironically, I just watched the baseball game episode on DS9 (Take me out to the Holosuite) yesterday. Almost everybody on the station team had no clue as to the rulesâŠ
Sigh⊠baseball is one game not played in this eastern part of the earth. Whatever, going by the flexing postures of both, it demands lot of potential energy converting to kinetic energy.

The guys on Hobbes team have to be out because the Tigers suck.

2-man baseballâŠ..are there any rules?
codycab over 3 years ago
Hard to decide between two 1-man teams.
Renatus Profuturus Frigeridus Premium Member over 3 years ago
In Calvinball rules are optional and everything is possible.

Who cares about teams? They look like theyâre having fun. Thatâs all that should matter.

So, do we assume Calvin plays all these games in his mind?
