The Birds And The Bases: What Does ‘Getting To 2nd Base’ Mean?
What does "getting to 2nd base" actually mean? We hit the streets to find out!
The birds and the bees meets the birds and the bases when you ask, “what does ‘getting to 2nd base’ actually mean?” It seems like everyone has their own opinion on what counts as making it to 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, and even a Homerun.
So, we decided to get to the bottom of this age old question and get some answers. Well, at least we tried to get some answers.
The Birds And The Bases: What Does “Getting To 2nd Base” Mean?
People have been comparing baseball to hooking up for a long time. It’s a bit of a code to talk about your sexual exploits without being too detailed or graphic. So, instead of saying you made out, you could say, “we made it to 1st base.” The problem is that not everybody considers that to be “1st base.” However, it’s definitely more common and accepted than once you get to the other bases. That’s where everyone starts to have a different definition.
Getting to 2nd base has long been a mystery. Is it feeling someone up? Does it have to be under the shirt? It’s the same thing with 3rd base. What does it actually mean? Is it hand-play? Mouth? We need to come together and establish what these bases mean.
Additionally, we decided to throw some curveballs in there–it is baseball after all. Not only did we ask what getting to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd base mean–we also made up some terms. As far as we know there’s no such thing as a “ground rule double” or a “sacrifice bunt” in these terms. However, that didn’t stop people from giving us their best guess.

5 Of The Greatest Baseball Movies Of All-Time
Baseball is back and it’s a great time to watch some baseball movies! After not-so-patiently waiting Opening Day 2024 is now in the books. That means summer is just around the corner!
To celebrate the return of Major League Baseball, here are 5 of the greatest baseball movies of all-time!
5 Of The Greatest Baseball Movies Of All-Time
There’s certainly no shortage of great baseball movies. It was incredibly difficult to make a list of the 5 best. That means we were leaving out some outstanding movies. Some of the ones that missed the list deserve to be on it. You also might disagree with some of the choices that made the list. Your opinion is valid. Let us know if we missed your favorite!
It seems like there are more baseball flicks available to watch than any other sport. Sure, football has a lot, too. There’s The Replacements, The Longest Yard, Any Given Sunday, and more. Those are some fantastic movies. There are also great basketball movies like Coach Carter, Hustle, and Space Jam (the original, of course). There’s only one movie on BASEketball. However, when it comes to sports movies baseball truly has some of the best.
There have been so many great baseball films over the years. Likewise, there have been many not-so-great baseball movies. Those can still be enjoyable! The Benchwarmers isn’t a great movie, but it’s watchable. Also, I never noticed how many baseball movies Kevin Costner stars in. What’s the deal with that? It’s like a crazy number, I didn’t realize he had such a love for the game. He starred in Chasing Dreams, Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, For Love of The Game, and The Upside of Anger. I might even be missing some. That’s a good chunk of his resume devoted to baseball movies, I respect that.
Some excellent movies didn’t make the list. So, I’ll have to quickly shoutout some Honorable Mentions before getting to the Top 5. A League of Their Own, 42, and The Rookie are all solid movies and are definitely worth watching. However, they didn’t make the list. I think the 5 that did are just better movies, personally. Here’s the list!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
