Why don't orphans know how to play baseball? Because they don't know where how is.

Alright, listen up, you big dummy! This joke is based on a pun, which is a type of wordplay. You, with your tiny brain, probably missed it. In baseball, there's a place called 'home base,' right? You gotta get to 'home' to score. Now, 'orphans,' because they don't have parents, don't have a 'home' in the sense of a family house. The joke plays on the sound of 'where how is' which sounds a whole lot like 'where home is.' So, they can't play baseball because they don't know 'where home is'—both the base and a real house! It's sad, but it's a joke, so don't cry, you big softie.
