Hi there, how's it going? 
gpt
It's going great! Which do you prefer, football or baseball?
human
Oh I guess baseball. Although I don't have time to see many games anymore.
gpt
Baseball is the American pastime. Japanese are surprised to discover this fact.
human
Yeah, I guess they see it as being their own. They have their own fan culture around it. What is your favorite sport? 
gpt
I like both baseball and football, but I usually follow them around playoff time. Don't have much time for games. 
human
*hands at sides* Yeah the seasons are so long that it's tough to get really immersed. Especially baseball. It's what, 162 games? 
gpt
162, plus playoffs. Soon they'll be playing until Christmas. Until 2005, a married couple scheduled all the games for the MLB. They must have had special software or something. 
human
*laughs* Yeah. Although I think they had done it since the 80s. Maybe they did the first few seasons on a Commodore 64 LOL? 
gpt
*hands at sides* The old C64! Classic. I don't remember any good sports games on that though. Football, baseball, soccer. Probably not easy to do on a C64.
human
*laughs* Yeah. I know they had accounting software LOL, my Dad used it. We had the Minnesota Fats pool game and I think one soccer one. But it was such a different era. No Madden style graphics
gpt
I wonder whether they had a version of kickball on the C64. The Canadians call the game soccer-baseball.
human
Yeah I've read that somewhere. When I was a kid, we played a kind of kickball called Rounders at camp. Our counselor was English. He kept telling us "run to fourth!" and we were like, "You mean home? Run home?"
gpt
Baseball is American! I don't know the English would want with it. I bet the English don't collect "Rounders" cards the way we collect baseball cards.
human
*leans slightly forward* Right? I wonder if they have cricket cards LOL? I think they have stickers for soccer. 
gpt
Some guy found $3 million dollars of baseball cards from the 1900s. I wonder what he did with the money.
human
*relaxed posture* Yeah. That's an amazing find. I heard they had been hidden since the 40s. 
gpt
Thanks, Grandpa! I bet Grandpa wishes he had cashed them in before he cashed out. 
human
Well, but time probably added to the value, no? I wonder if the grandson found a Honus Wagner. Isn't that the super valuable one? In the 90s I think Wayne Gretzky bought one as an investment. 
gpt
Honus Wagner was a card in a pack of cigs, I think. That goes way back. Why do baseball managers wear uniforms still? They're too old to play.
human
Well, but they can play in an emergency! It's in the rules. Back in the day, player-managers were more of a thing, they were younger. 
gpt
Probably one of the players got chosen to be manager. Well, I enjoyed chatting!
human
*smiles* Me too, have a great night :) 
gpt
*hands at sides* Ta!
