The Bee Foresees..........Cricket?

Since the Babylon Bee is a reliable news source, unlike the NYTimes, ABC News, or the local rag (no matter what locality you live in), we present the following news item:

 In a blow to America's favorite pastime, Vivek Ramaswamy has officially announced that the Department Of Government Efficiency will be replacing baseball with cricket.

All baseball bats in America will be confiscated and replaced with absurdly over-sized paddles, and baseball fields will have a few sticks jammed into the ground to convert them into cricket fields.

Though many Americans expressed resistance to the idea, Ramaswamy assured the nation it would come to love cricket once it understood the rules. "It's really quite simple," explained Ramaswamy. "You just throw the whicky-whopper at the wicket wands, aiming a beamer at the block hole, and the walloper hits the boot hill and runs the bowling box for half a point if no one donkey drops the nibble. Of course, it's an extra three fourths of a point if the slingy bowls a paddle scoop, and the game keeps going until a nipbacker nets a gully grubber."...

Elon Musk agreed, saying that 'anyone who prefers baseball should be eradicated from the Republican Party, root and branch.'

George Will could not be reached for comment.
