Listen up, buttercup. This joke is about orphans, right? Orphans don't have parents, so they don't have a "home" in the traditional sense. The punchline plays on the word "home" – in baseball, you gotta know where home base is to score. Since orphans don't know "where home is" (because they're orphans, duh), they can't play baseball. It's a dark joke, but hey, you're the one struggling with it, not me.
