-So what is the national sport in Finland?
minä: 'Erm.... I think it’s this version of the baseball we kind of just
created ourselves, nest ball I think it is called'
-Oh wow, so how does it differ from baseball?
minä: 'Well one big difference is that while in baseball the ball
is being thrown horizontally to the player, in nest ball the ball is thrown
vertically. So basically there is someone next to the player throwing the ball
up to the air. Our version makes the hitting probably just much easier. Probably
like you know the kids can play and all.'
*laughing*
-'What if you have a bad coordination and you hit the person standing next to you with the bat?
minä: Erm… yes that is a good point, well if you are throwing the ball you obviously need to step back immediately after'
-'What if you have a bad coordination and you hit the person standing next to you with the bat?

*more laughing*
minä: '…and you know when we were kids if we missed two balls with
a bat we could try to hit the third ball with a tennis racket.'
-And that is your national sport?
*going to laugh literally below the table*
