...huge, contained space; the centerfielder's arrogant slouch as he taunts the batter by playing in too far; the way the shortstop leans forward when he knows the next guy is dangerous; the cocky way (unseen by the camera, because TV slicksters are peddling razor blades) the teams jog on and off the field, each full-grown millionaire taking care not to step on the foul lines, which is bad luck...
