⚾
What ⚾ means
A white ball with two inwardly curving lines stitched in red such that the stitches are seen as short red lines. The ⚾ Baseball emoji represents the game, literally, and attributes such as focus, eye-hand coordination, team works, and speed, most of all, metaphorically.
How and when to use it
- Baseball and idioms are pretty much the same things. ⚾ would come in handy for any baseball idiom you're throwing into a conversation.
- If you're texting someone about an unexpected event, conversation, or a surprise, indeed, you could use ⚾. For instance, "I really had a curveball coming my way and I didn't even notice ⚾".
- Use ⚾ while sharing that awesome news about how a close friend succeeded at something or about how you finally made it! - "After all these years, she's finally done it! Earned herself a home run ⚾".
- If you're being the classic know-it-all or you're telling someone that they are one, use ⚾. For example, "Of course you knew it all right off the bat, mate⚾. You're practically the bat, right?!".
- If you're feeling sorry for someone or something, and you're texting a close friend or typing out a quote/caption resonating with the same, you could use ⚾. Like, "It's painful when you strikeout each time you try, you know ⚾".
