I know nothing about baseball but the guy I like breathes MLB.
Post Body

Hello. I am 29 F from a Southeast Asian country. We donā€™t do baseball. Anyone who does is either a general sports fan or has American blood.

Iā€™ve been in and out of the US on business. I met a guy. I like him.

Weā€™ve already been on one date but Iā€™m more nervous for this second one because I wanna work on how I never seem interested in someone (even though I really am) and among others one step would be to connect with him through the thing he apparently wonā€™t shut up about, which is baseball and the MLB. I canā€™t even spell or pronounce the team he is a fan of (it starts with an O). He hasnā€™t told me much more about much of a die-hard fan he is because he doesnā€™t want to bore or alienate me.

I guess I just need help on finding any videos to watch or articles to read that could give me some sort of crash course on how baseball and the MLB work, also maybe within the context of whatā€™s happening in this season. Anything in the style of ā€œtalk to me like a 5 year oldā€ would be even better. I know nothing about baseball but I know for a fact that Iā€™m a fast learner.

The goal isnā€™t to pretend to be a longtime fan, Iā€™m definitely gonna tell him about how I learned all I can about a new topic in the span of a week just so I could know what heā€™s talking about, and heā€™ll probably laugh at me, but that would be okay.

Not sure if this would be allowed here but Iā€™m taking my chances. Thank you.
