I’ve quoted this when my team (Nats) have been in the playoffs. Never worked and no one thought it was funny. So didn’t use it this year. Look what that got them. 😃

I didn’t realize Colm Meaney had baseball skills...
Well, they do play Rounders in Ireland. I imagine Colm learned to play at school! It’s not really a difficult game lol
Sisko: "But it is not that easy. It's a difficult game. It was a difficult game to play even for seasoned professionals who spent their lifetime practicing, and now we have less than two weeks to build a team and face the opponent."
My favorite story from Take Me Out to the Hollosuite, Max Grodénchik was the best baseball player in the cast. He had considered going pro before becoming an actor. And the script had Rom as the worst player on the team. So Grodénchik played the game as a left despite being a righty because it was the only way to look clumsy.
Chief had one of his all-time great throwaway moments in "Take Me Out to the Holosuite":
BASHIR: What are you eating?
O'BRIEN: I'm not eating, I'm chewing.
BASHIR: Chewing what?
O'BRIEN: Gum. It's traditional. I had the replicator create me some.
BASHIR: They just chewed it?
O'BRIEN: No, they infused the gum with flavor.
BASHIR: What did you infuse it with?
O'BRIEN: Scotch. Here, try some.
BASHIR: Mmmm.
Also, Baseball Prospectus has a fun deep dive essay about that episode and the best possible lineup and positioning of the players. I dig this other essay about it by Summer Anne Burton for Not Graphs.
Loved these! Really fun reads, both of them.
And I especially loved:
"In case you were unclear about who to root for, the Niners wear socks pulled up their knees, while the Vulcan team wears the new standard long pants. I think we all know who the good guys are."

Are you suggesting 'The Sisko' is wrong?
