Why did the baseball player get fired?
He ran 3 bases then walked home!
Pun-derful
Did You Know?
In baseball, "walked home" means being forced to walk to home plate after a walk, but here it means he left work! A "walk" in baseball occurs when a pitcher throws four balls outside the strike zone. Players must touch all four bases - first, second, third, and home - to score a run. Baseball's first professional team formed in 1869. The longest professional baseball game lasted 33 innings (8 hours, 25 minutes) in 1981. Major League Baseball players have an average career length of 5.6 years!
