Cricket is similar to baseball so if you know how to play cricket, baseball shouldn't be too difficult.

I once read this book where a bunch of aliens who were thousands of times smarter than humans came to Earth because there was one thing that they could not simply understand; baseball. And even when the humans taught them how to play baseball, they could still not understand, despite the aliens having created time machines and out-of-the-world technology.

Baseball is pretty simple actually, and it's not that hard to play. The most difficult thing about it is wearing black pants in 100 degrees
