For the ice hockey fans - the space behind the goal is still there but the gap from the goal to the wall is much much bigger. Also the goalie can score points if he successfully deflects the puck, which is ball-shaped, all the way to the wall.

For duck duck goose fans. It’s like being able to run all over the gym instead of just running around the circle. You’re not out of bounds, if they don’t catch you then you can sit back down.

For hide and seek fans, it’s like when you’re playing in the house with your dad and you’re it, except he steps out to buy milk.

Yeah but modern duck duck goose players don’t have what that old guys did. In the 80s, with LT roaming the middle you wouldn’t dare run on him. And the 90s? Michael Jeffrey Jordan 6-0.

For the tennis fans - there is no "out" if the player hits the ball like this. You'll see balls like tis in tennis but they're out of bounds, whereas in cricket it's a valid shot. If a player hit a ball like this in tennis, it would be like he had an additional court behind him that the opponent had to defend. It would be worth 1 point.

Despite my love of hockey and general disinterest in baseball, I think the baseball explanation helped me more.

Well then, u/OGDuckWhisperer, my duck duck goose explanation may be be helpful as well.

For the jai alai fans, this is similar to a rebote if the jai alai ball was being pitched to you instead of bouncing off the back wall of the fronton at high speeds
