I don’t know what the big mystery is, Obama never played baseball as a boy. He can’t throw a baseball because he never played while growing up in Indonesia. He missed out on a lot of things most ‘mericans take for granted, and he doesn’t strike me as really liking America. I grew up dirt poor in Iowa, and all we really could afford for entertainment was playing baseball. Our little town didn’t have a football team, but we had 3 baseball teams and 2 softball squads for the girls. I heard in WWI that Americans were the best grenade throwers because they all played baseball!

Interesting. When video games first became big in the early 1980s, some believed that they were part of a government conspiracy to prepare children for future military service (ie. your son finds that his tank or fighter jet has the same controls as his Atari). I’m sure that games like Battlezone and Missile Command only fueled their suspicions.
