Maybe they don’t hit many home runs. That way they can use the balls longer.
Bats break much more often than balls do.
The soviet worker has lots of time to enjoy recreational sports, but thanks to the enlightened education and exercise the citizens receive, the fans themselves are so coordinated that they simply hit the balls back into the stadium when they leave the playing field.
They don’t keep the balls for themselves. That would be property.
I heard it’s very easy to score a home run in Russia if you have a few rubles.
Maybe it’s because the big mosquitoes they have?
It that a euphemism?
I wish that they wouldn’t brag. It’s unseemly.
