Baseball games are fun, so just go for the hot dogs and pretend like you enjoy it.

Try to get into it. Try to find your interests. And then try to understand what their interests are so you can use those two and make your own kind of perception of baseball.
嘗試去喜歡棒球。找到你的興趣。然后試著去理解他們的興趣,這樣你就能利用這些來塑造你自己對棒球的理解。
It's totally okay to do your own thing and not like baseball. Just tell them that. Don't go to the games. Don't watch it. Just, you know, do what you like.
做你自己的事情完全沒問題,不用去喜歡棒球。告訴他們你不喜歡棒球。不用去看比賽。不要看比賽。做你自己喜歡的事情就好。

如果你不想打棒球,那就不要打棒球。如果你不想看棒球比賽,那就不要看。
Tell them another sport that you like. Maybe they'll say, "Oh, sure. You can try that sport. We'll try that sport with you."
告訴他們你喜歡的另一種運動。也許他們會說,“哦,好吧。你可以試試那項運動。我們會和你一起嘗試那項運動的。”
If you're playing the sport and you don't like the sport, you should just be honest with your family and just be like, "Yo, I want to play something else."
