(American) football and golf are way more culturally chud coded than baseball imo

Also I'm pretty sure the batter is supposed to be Shohei Ohtani but on the Angels to keep the red/blue color coding make sense still lol which makes me wonder how old this is

I guess they used baseball because baseball is pretty popular in Japan while nobody outside the US gives a shit about CTEball and golf is more rich coded.

I was gonna say (and did), baseball has become pretty hipster. I'm from Baltimore and if you go to an O's game half the people there are like breaded dudes with full sleeve tattoos who look like they just came from an Fleet Foxes concert.
