Aye, and all this here were fields... ;D But yes, I remember the days when somebody's mobile phone going off or if they were daft enough to walk around talking on it, it was a cause for merriment and ridicule and jokes about Yuppies that were probably a decade out of date even in those days (not that I or most of the people I knew even had them in those days)... Truly it was a different age! As for the internet... I think computers still ran on steam! ;D

But yes, baseball - one of those things that Do Not Translate Well, I fear... I liked the one with the typewriter that could warp reality (you typed stuff, and it came true), which was a later one - although I think they nicked the idea off some old Twilight Zone episode or somewhere. And speaking of nicked ideas, the Groundhog Day-clone where Mulder's waterbed kept repeatedly bursting and Our Heroes kept repeatedly getting blown up by the same bomb, I seem to remember that was a good one. You know, if I watched some of those later seasons again I'd probably start enjoying them more.

Have you seen the newish (2008?) film? Not the greatest, but maybe not as bad as people have claimed. It would have been a perfectly acceptable weird-happening-of-the-week episode around about S2, I think.
