AMERICAN BASEBALL POEM $
A game called prison ball was enjoyed in France
while English boys played rounder in short pants.
Town ball was the game that Americans played
While friends and family watched from the shade.
American baseball became alive
With Cartwright's rules of 1845.
Civil War soldiers played behind the lines
To help pass time and soothe troubled minds.
Professional baseball got its start
When the National League performed its part.
Soon after fans would pay to see the games
As the players traveled by boats and trains.
From April to October, players play
Half the time at home and half away
By thirty, it's time for most to retire
Before they're consumed by game time desire.
THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR HEART ?

Is there any difference between Ramadan and a baseball game? Yes, Ramadan doesn’t take as long to end.

personally I find this cringeworthy in regards to how desperate we muslims want to intergrate and be accepted by the western word !

The level of ignorance is just unbelievable. All Arab and Muslim countries (apart from Saudi Arabia) are open for Christians. There are churches and Christians in Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, etc... but you don’t want to see that. The funny part is that your best alley is the only country that is not open!
