Existential Baseball Calls
Out, but what does that mean?
Makes you feel safe at first until you realize it’s slowly eating away at your self-confidence
Foul mood (caused by pointlessly arguing with opposing team fans)
Unfair ball, reflecting the arbitrariness of this game, all games, and life in general
Time is fleeting, and you really should make that doctor’s appointment you’ve been putting off
Home run, but it still doesn’t leave you fulfilled
Almost, keep trying, you can do it, maybe
Sun interference, but you still blame yourself
Obstruction by a crow, or other harbinger of doom
You are about to get hit in the head with a baseball
