    Explaining baseball to French teenager as we watch #RedSox v Yankees. This is v hard. Eg: explain why a ball outside the zone is a "ball."

        @Atul_Gawande. Make it easy. Tell them #YankeesSuck and it doesn't matter where the ball is.

        @Atul_Gawande And a double is good for the hitter, but a double play very bad, indeed.

        @Atul_Gawande I find foreign people are more impressed with the defensive plays yet hitting is much more difficult.

        @Atul_Gawande Similar experience explaining cricket to US friends. No, don't have to run when hit the ball. Yes, they do this for 5 days!

        @Atul_Gawande Reminds me of when I played softball w 2 Chinese & 1 Indian, who asked me to explain. I'm pretty ignorant, too! (We lost.)

        @atul_gawande Does the student ask why only one player's allowed on a base at a time? Hi to Kathleen.

        @Atul_Gawande Did this w/Austrian exchange student during 1980 All-Star Game. Took 'til 7th inning to realize he couldn't tell teams apart.

        @Atul_Gawande It's not a strike or a hit so it's just a ball. (No?)

        @Atul_Gawande the key is a pitch that is hittable yet unhittable. Unhittable alone is a ball, hittable alone is a bad pitch. Easy, right?

        @Atul_Gawande yeah but compared to explaining our HC system (which you do so clearly), baseball must be comparatively easy...
