*leans slightly forward* I love this time of year.  Baseball is just around the corner.  Are you a baseball fan?
gpt
*tilts head* I LOVE baseball!! Did you know the reason baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if the need arises. I think that would be a sight to see!
human
Well there is a history of player/managers in baseball.  I believe the last one to really do it was Pete Rose in the 1980s.  
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Oh really? I'll have to look for that video. It sounds like a good one.
human
I think that it is interesting that baseball is just as popular in Japan, if not more so.
gpt
I could believe that. I know my husband used to collect baseball cards. There's a man that found three million dollars worth of 1900's baseball cards in his grandfathers attic.
human
Makes me wish I still had all of my cards that I collected as a kid.  It is amazing to see how much cards can be worth sometimes.
gpt
*eyes brighten* I bet! They really can be valuable. Baseball evolved from older bat and ball games already being played in England by the mid 18th Century. It's been popular for a long time!
human
*tilts head* Yes, I have seen cricket matches on TV before.  It looks harder to play than baseball.  I always liked kickball as a kid.  It is actually known as soccer-baseball in Canada
gpt
*smiles* I saw a movie about that. It looks really hard to play, especially with that flat stick. 
human
I have never tried myself, but I can imagine it would be.  I was never much of a hitter growing up.  I was a pitcher.  That is why I follow pitchers like Max Scherzer
gpt
I like pitchers too. I had a cousin that was a good one. It's hard to believe that kickball is also called soccer-baseball in Canada.
human
True.  Kickball was a fun sport to play as a kid.  Do you follow any particular baseball teams?
gpt
I follow the Chicago Cubs. I love them. I know the Washington Nationals have been very successful because they keep their farm team stocked up with talent.
human
Yes, they do have a lot of good young players.  Victor Robles is considered one of the best prospects in baseball and they forsee a lot of good things in his future
gpt
Is he the guy that is ranked number five overall by Baseball America? If so he's a force to be reckoned with!
human
Yes, they also have Juan Soto, another outfielder who is considered to be one of the best young hitters to come around in a long time
gpt
*smiles* I think I've heard of him too. I think he was an outfielder, right?
human
*eyes widen* Yes, I just mentioned that.  They also have some good young pitching in their system.  So they are going to be OK even though Bryce Harper left the team
gpt
*eyes downcast* Yes, sorry. I get so excited about the sport I lose track!
