Hey Lana what can we tell our viewers
about baseball that they don't already
know It says here that some historians
believe that baseball came from two
English sports cricket and rounders both
using pitching and hitting Wow look at
all the padding these guys wear That's
to keep the players safe The ball is
hard and travels very fast They better
be careful played better Do we have a
video that deals with sportsmanship
What sportsmanship It's being
well-mannered when you play a game and
not bragging when you win I brag
sometimes I guess I shouldn't do that
It's good to be proud of yourself when
you do well Just be careful how you
express it You've got it big sister
We've got the perfect video on the
subject Cool Let's get our host to throw
to it now Throw to it Get it Never mind
Cue the host Our next video is about
sportsmanship The feelings you have when
you're playing a game are the most
important parts of sports The kids in
our next video have their heart set in
the right places So let's join them in
It's not if you win or lose Your friends
nice when you're playing at school It's
okay to play hard but always play by the
rules It's not if you win or lose
It's all how you play the game always be
a good sport cuz everybody's trying the
same It's a fact in life You might not
always win but just go on back out and
try it again It's not if you win or
lose It's all how you play the game
Always be a good sport cuz everybody's
trying the same
[Music]
It's not if you win or
lose it's all how you play the game
It's not if you win or
lose it's all how you play the game
Always be a good sport cuz everybody's

All right
we're all set for the top five Good luck
Lana Thanks Sarah And Q Please welcome
Lana Richards with five fascinating
facts about baseball Take it away Lana
Thanks guys The number five most
fascinating fact is that the first
professional baseball team the
Cincinnati Red Stockings began to pay
its players in 1869 They won 91 of their
first 92 games Number four little league
teams were only for boys until the 1970s
when girls won the right to join them
Number three the fastest base runner
ever is Ernest Swanson In 1931 he
circled the bases in 13.3 seconds Number
two Ricky Henderson holds the world
record for the most stolen bases with an
amazing
1,215 And the number one most
fascinating fact is that the Chicago
White Sox played the longest major
league ball game ever 8 hours 6 minutes
before finally beating the Milwaukee
Brewers 7 to6 in the 25th inning on May
9th 1984
I know that Brett will be very impressed
with my pitching I'm sure you're right
Billy Okay Truth Let's get Mr Butler's
microphone checked and a little powder
on Mimmy's nose please Mr Butler can you
say check one two for me Check one two
for me Sounds good They said that
sounded great We're ready My question
marks are really waiting to fly into
action about now Well then let's make
their wish our command Is that a roll Q
Of course it is Roll it Three two one
and take
it And kudos We are very pleased to have
the incredible Brett Butler with us
today Brett has had a remarkable career
as a professional baseball player And
right now on question time our colleague
Mim Paley is going to ask him all about
it Thank you Tiffany and Sergio And
thank you Brett for joining us Thanks
for having me Now what happened to your
eye Well I guess I'm supposed to catch
the ball but we were practicing in the
outfield and you're supposed to watch
the hitter and I wasn't and he hit a
line drive and it hit me in the eye and
I had to get three stitches So that's
kind of uh what happens sometimes Our
research department says that you're a
really great baseball player What is the
secret to your success Well I think the
key to success is to work on your
weaknesses because if you can perfect
your weaknesses then the good things
that you do will also take off and then
you'll be able to do good all the way
through And so a lot of practice a lot
of hard work and believing in yourself
Well what advice do you have for kids
who want to play sports Well I I think I
would give you the same advice that my
father gave me and that is if if you
don't believe in yourself nobody else
will If you have a dream or you have a
desire or goal go out there and do the
very best that you can And if you make
it you can be satisfied but if you don't
make it you can be content and say you
know what it just wasn't supposed to
happen That's what I would the advice
I'd give When you were a kid were you
the best in your neighborhood Uh no I
was the worst or at least they thought I
was the worst I was the smallest on the
team I was the last one picked I was
always too little I was told I couldn't
do it But I had a secret in my heart I
believed I could play So like I said
earlier you have to believe in yourself
and not let anybody tell you you can't
do it Go out there and do it Well I
tried to Were you ever discouraged There
were times where I got discouraged but
my father always said "Hey be the first
one there Be the last one to leave Do
all that you possibly can Let them see
you there And practice Practice makes
perfect Everybody knows that you
survived a very serious illness cancer
What did you learn from that Well I
think one thing I've learned is if I go
back when I was a little boy I remember
we used to make fun of people who
something happened to them maybe if they
went through chemotherapy and they lost
their hair that was our way of being
able to share with them but we didn't
think about their feelings And I think
as a little boy or a little girl what we
have to do is we have to think about the
feelings of the people who are going
through the illnesses So what we have to
do is show them what kind of friends we
are put our arms around them tell them
we love them and help them through the
situation And sometimes it means just
sitting there and trying to be kind Well
thank you Brett for joining us today
Well thanks for having me Well kids stay
tuned for more fabulous and fascinating
guests on the next question time You're
the host Get ready to rumble cuz it's
time to join Billy and Ruby now in their
dance
studio

too much Uh-oh I think I brag too much
sometimes Well Billy keep your eye on
what happens to our overconfident cowboy

song All right ride them cowboy
