Is there really anything funnier than the English language???
I have a hobby where I take literary pieces, famous quotes and written terms and I translate them to other languages, then take that translation and translate it back into English just to see what happens (check out www.manykinds.blogspot.com for more wonderful non-sports examples)
Today I will take section 2.00 Definitions of the MLB rulebook, translate it into German this time, then taking that translation and directly translating it back to English...thus 'batter' ends up as 'egg paste' and 'catch' ends up 'bolting device'
- while I would never suggest to anyone to read this entire piece ...enjoy
to reference the ACTUAL rules written in English - http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/official_info/official_rules/definition_terms_2.jsp
