Well, yes. The key is home plate. It isn't shaped like the other weights, it has five sides, but it isn't a pentagon, it's a square with a little 90 degree point whose sides run up either baseline. That way when you get a hit you know which direction to go.

But you can't just go either direction, that is, you have to run counterclockwise, which is anticlockwise in Great Britain because they're in the Eastern hemisphere. If you don't you'll end up on third base first, which not only confuses hell out of the pitcher (if he's a lefty it's to his off side) but makes a 5-4-3 double play completely impossible because the third baseman is 6. Have you ever heard of a 5-4-6 double play? Didn't think so.

This difficulty is compounded if you go metric. There there's a conversion factor - one pound is .45 kilograms, so when you have a shortstop to second baseman to first baseman double play it's 2.25 to 1.8 to 1.35, Tinker to Evers to Chance, if you will. The problem is that the umps won't let them wear uniform numbers in fractions, not even digital fractions, so you round up or down and get 2 to 2 to 1, who's also the pitcher. If he isn't fast enough to cover first base for the double play you wouldn't be able to score this at all. I think you can see what a problem that would be.

No, when it comes to weightlifting or baseball we simply can't depend on the unreliable metric system. It's pure Communism.
