Do You Think Dukat Played Baseball?

Guy Gardener · January 2 2013, 05:56 AM

While he was in charge of Terok Nor during the war, Dukat never seemed to let go of that ball. Surely he must have had a slip of curiosity to see how that ball connected with the rest of the "baseball" phenomena.

So if this so... Who did Dukat play?

Historical figures or Sisko?

Or did he play along side Sisko as best friends on the same team?

And after the Federation retook the Station, did Dukat leave a holographic team of himself and "friends" to challenge Sisko?

R. Star · January 2 2013, 06:26 AM

Pft, Dukat's holographic team would've been 8 other replicas of himself.

I somehow doubt Dukat bothered to learn the game and spend THAT much time in the holosuite with a baseball. I wouldn't be surprised to read a short story about Dukat taking an evening off to watch one of Sisko's baseball holoprograms, though...

Could you imagine a brief pause in the war as Dukat challenges Sisko to a game on nuetral ground?

Which would be like the Soccer Match between Germany and England in no-mans-land Christmas Day 1914.

I now have the infernal image of Dukat's Field of Dreams stuck in my head.

Dukat was probably an umpire, like Joe West.

Is he going to have Kira's mom on the sidelines as a cheerleader?

Dukat's ego would probably allow for that.

Imagine Take Me Out To The Holosuite with Dukat issuing a challenge instead of Solok. That would be hilariously stupid, while almost making some degree of sense...

Dukat seems more like a polo guy to me.

billcosby · January 2 2013, 07:00 PM

I reckon basketball.
The next time he's at a convention, can someone ask Marc Alaimo next time he's taking questions? It would be good to know for sure.

Mr. Laser Beam · January 2 2013, 11:52 PM

Let's just hope Dukat doesn't try to sing along during the seventh inning stretch. He'd probably sound like this:

I dunno, I see Dukat learning to play baseball just so once he captures Sisko he can let him out for a quick game, with the holodeck programmed to make him win.

Haha, I could see him having a holoumpire alter the Strike zone and calls in his favor.

I wonder if games in the future might look like this:
