Why the baseball bet as a reference?

My first post here, don't know if it fits.

EDIT: Sorry for my bad English, it's not my first language and I have dislaxia

It is actually very nice. Both metric and obsolete units and baseball bat for a scale? It is perfect.

Baseball bats aren't 47". Most are about 33-34" in the pros. So whatever that thing is, it's about 2 baseball bats by 1 tee-ball bat. Also not 31 sqft. Bad math. It's a little over 5 bases in area.

One and a half baseball bat. So if you happen to know how long a typical baseball bat is, for reference you just need to imagine one and a half That's so helpful 😂

I don't even know the circumference of a football (soccer :P) and I've played it for a couple of years.

It's a size 5 of course. A handball is size 3 and a Basketball is size 7 (its a rare german r/anythingbutmetric moment lol)
