Also versammeln sich die Freunde ein letztes Mal, um zusammen zu spielen. Aus dieser Zusammenkunft wird eine nostalgische Meditation über den Sport und die Ära, die nun zu Ende geht.

00:00Take me out to the ball game, take me out to the crowd, buy me some peanuts and cracker
00:11jacks.
00:12Come on, let's hear it for Julie.
00:15Gentlemen, let's play.
00:18The vote has been passed to begin construction on the currently unnamed middle school in
00:24Douglas.
00:25Let's go, last one, let's make it count.
00:29That means building on top of Soldier's Field where recreational baseball teams have faced
00:34off for decades.
00:36There's just one big backyard, my backyard.
00:41I need to be put down.
00:50Last game.
00:52That's how we're sitting down.
00:59Time!
01:01You play ball, kid?
01:02Yeah.
01:05Do yourself a favor, don't.
01:10It's all combat.
01:12Life.
01:14This game.
01:16Combat.
01:18It's nice to be back on this grass field.
01:20It's a shame those pricks are building a school here.
01:26Can't quit this field, huh?
01:28Doesn't want to stop playing.
01:29But what are we doing here?
01:30Come on!
01:32Get going!
01:33Now the whole game will be pointless.
01:35It was already pointless, fellas.
01:39Hey, me, throw the Ephus.
01:41The Ephus pitches a type of curveball so unnaturally slow that it confuses the batter.
01:46Makes him lose track of time.
01:47It's kind of like baseball.
01:48I'm looking around for something to happen.
01:50Poof, game's over.
01:57I've been watching this for an hour and I still don't understand baseball.
