Notes: It's hard to credit that daorchluiche is the officially-recommended term for "baseball" in Irish when it looks like the kind of clumsy overliteral translation you would expect from a machine. The first element, daor means "base" in the sense of "lowly" or "servile". Or is this just an unkind commentary on our National Pastime from a bunch of hurley-wielding maniacs?

I've never seen daorchluiche before. I always just call it cruicéad poncánach. :D
