    The meme doesn’t make sense. If someone invents and wins at a sport that no one else cares about, that doesn’t sound like chad vibes. That sounds like basement dweller vibes.

            Rounders originated in England. Before that people were whacking balls with bats in other countries. Baseball is from the US.
