        Still disagree. The first homer in sports would have been in cricket. A sport that Americans looked at and said, “What the fuck are you on about? We don’t have time to play a game for 8 hours a day for an entire week! There’s a ton of hemp, corn, potatoes, and other crops to tend to and harvest!” and they then went on to create Baseball, which manages to keep 90% of the terminology, 50% of the gameplay, and less than 8% of the original run time. We compressed an entire week of watching grass grow while the contestants are performing their arcane ritual, into a game and that only last 3 hours, and kept most of the watching grass grow while the players perform their arcane rituals.
