Hi there!  Are you a baseball fan?
gpt
Not really.  I find the sport difficult to watch and slow.  What about you?
human
I like it.  I think because it just it's something that always makes me think of warm weather and summer time.  Did you know they call kickball soccer-baseball in Canada?
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* It is nice to sit outside and watch a baseball game in warm weather. I agree.  I didn't know they call kickball "soccer-baseball" in Canada.  That is funny.
human
I wonder why they call it that.  I'm always wondered why baseball managers wear uniforms...I guess they can play for their teams if needed.  Interesting.
gpt
Do you know who the baseball player Angel Hernandez is?
human
He is actually an umpire.  He has a bad reputation for blowing calls.
gpt
That's what I heard.  And he tried to accuse the Yankees and Joe Torre of discrimination against him.  I think being an umpire must be difficult
human
I wouldn't want to be one.  Especially the ref in the NFL who blew that call against the Saints and cost them a chance of going to the super bowl.  You'll have to google it if you don't know about it.
gpt
I heard about that in the news.  Same thing with being a ref in a tennis match or a soccer match.  It's a tough job.  At least there is video playback.  But human error plays a roll always.
human
It does.  Did you know that baseball is really popular in Japan too?
gpt
Yes I did.  It is popular in South Korea too.
human
*eyes brighten* There's been a few Koreans who have played in the MLB.  Shin Shoo Choo from the Rangers is from there.
gpt
Oh okay, cool.  Do you like watching World Cup soccer?
human
I do.  I watch it when I can.
gpt
*eyes widen* I heard that more people in the US watched Women's World Cup soccer than the World Series, which I find hard to believe.  The final games of the Women's World Cup are always very exciting though.
human
I believe it!  Soccer is super popular compared to baseball.  Speaking of the world series...did you know that Babe Ruth was caught stealing to end game 7 of the 1926 series.  I wonder if he was playing for the Yankees then.
gpt
Wow!  Well soccer is an easier game to watch than baseball.
human
*smiles* It is.  More action.  I wonder if they have hair length rules in soccer?  Don Mattingly of the Yankees once got suspended because he refused to get a haircut.  lol
gpt
I don't think so in soccer.  Many of the men have long hair.  Remember Alexi Lalas with the long hair?  Speaking of baseball, did you know a female pitched was once booted from MLB for striking out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig?
human
*raises eyebrows* You're right!  A lot of them tie their hair back.  I didn't know that.  How interesting!  It's been fun chatting with you!
gpt
*takes a step forward* Same here! I didn't know there was a female pitcher to Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.  Have a good evening!
