[Steve is taking a break from beating up punching bags to hydrate. There may be a slightly battered-looking bag behind him, he's uh, been -- taking out some of his aggression on it. But at the moment, he's mostly relaxed, fixing the comm with a very intent look.]

So. I know a lotta people here aren't exactly from my world. But who here knows about baseball? --Or who'd like to learn? It's the great American pastime and everything, I figure I should, I dunno, share some culture up here.

Anyway, if you're interested, lemme know. We might even be able to get a team going, we get enough people. Bucky 'n I have already got gloves and bats, if you'd like a demonstration. We can head to the CES and show ya.

[Private to Tony and Natasha:]

How about it, you two? Could get to know each other a little better. [Or you could throw baseballs at him, Tony, he wouldn't blame you one bit.]

[Private to Eddie:]

I think this could be a good thing for you to do. You up for it?

[Peggy gave him his space, she knew he needed it... And it gave her the opportunity to read up on her inmate. But destroying punching bags only works for so long... and she doesn't like communicating over the network when she can just as easily walk down the hall and talk with him in person.]

I'd like to learn, if you're not too busy teaching the rest of the Barge.

[She smiles a little as she leans against the door frame.]

[thestarspangledman]

Really? Alright. [He gives her a grin and rubs at his face with a towel, then gets up and heads over to the door.]

Hi there.

[Private]

[persuadeyou]

Not my thing. [Baseball OR bonding exercises B|]

[Private]

[thestarspangledman]

You don't know 'til you try.

[imfollowinghim]

Meet you up there?

[thestarspangledman]

Sure. I think I might break this punching bag if I stay here any longer.

[scentbombed]

Bats?

[thestarspangledman]

Oh, uh -- not real bats. Baseball bats. Wooden sticks, pretty much.

[sharpememory]

I'll play baseball, just as long as I'm not on your team.

[thestarspangledman]

Alright, there's one, then. Not even sure if we're going to have enough for teams, yet.

[trenchcoatedly]

I would like to learn.

[thestarspangledman]

Yeah? Great!

[aggravating]

Hi.

You've reached the voicemail of Tony Stark.

If you're a jackass Captain, hang up now. If you're a creepy Russian Spy, do the same.

If either of you are still on the line, go take a long walk off a short pier, or better yet, go give each other concussions with small, spherical objects.

And if you're still here, because you apparently don't have a life that doesn't involve pissing me off, leave a message to the finger you'll have to assume I'm giving you now.

[audio/Avengers filter]

[thestarspangledman]

Real mature, Tony.

[Not here]

[persuadeyou]

[Sigh Tony. She is just shaking her head and not bothering because seriously. Seriously? You ARE twelve.]

[batmanschmatman]

I could stand to play a game or two.

[thestarspangledman]

Great, I'll add ya to the list.

[Private]

[diedinnewyork]

...the fuck would you think that?

[This is his way of saying "tell me more"]

[Private]

[thestarspangledman]

Think of it as a team-building exercise.

[districttwo]

[Did someone say team? game?]

...what kind of team?

[Here is cato washed and cleaned and peering at his communicator.]

[thestarspangledman]

A baseball team.

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

I have been instructed to report for this game.

[ Voice ]

[thestarspangledman]

Have ya? Great, we need more people.

[bybloodandhonor]

I don't think I've ever heard of baseball before, but it sounds like it'd be interesting to learn how to play.

[thestarspangledman]

Seems a lot of people haven't. But if you're interested, I'll let ya know when we're starting.

[truth_is_cold]

My Captain taught me basketball, so I assume I could learn other sports. [This is him volunteering, kind of. He wants to socialize.]

[thestarspangledman]

It's a good bit different than basketball, but we'd be glad to have you.

[deadliestviper]

Not two weeks before I got here I spent a month listening to a Japanese man extoll the virtues of baseball. Must've been a sign, huh? Fine, I'm in if you'll take me.

[video]

[thestarspangledman]

Sure will, ma'am.

private video; open to Tony&Steve

[didknowthat]

[Guess who's playing stubborn mother hen?]

I think it'd be a good idea for Tony to join. [Because yes, she knows Tony's codes to get into his own filters. He always leaves a loophole for her, anyway.]

private video; stupid trio filter

[aggravating]

[lakdsjflk Get out Pepper he's leaving you out of his filters from here on out damnit]

Uh, no. I don't do baseball.

[strangehistorian]

I would love to learn! Or at least to watch a game played! The ruleset in the abstract has not let me picture it.
