Moreover, a triangulation was conducted to ensure the research trustworthiness. All of the data were analyzed through sociolinguistic perspective.  The findings of this study show that there are 77 items which are categorized as sport jargon. They are categorized as compounding (25 items), clipping and ellipsis (18 items), multiple processes (14 items), conversion (3 items), derivation (10 items) and acronym/abbreviation (7 items). Compounding becomes the most prominent form of jargon in this study. The process of compounding is easily found in sport. Meanwhile, in terms of function, this study reveals that jargon is not randomly conducted. Yet, it serves some functions which are used to make an economical communication and to promote in-group solidarity and to exclude out-groupers (who do not use jargon). The first function covers up to 90.90% of the data with 70 items. Then, the second function covers 9.09% with 7 items. In addition, understanding baseball technical terms is necessary to assist the reader in interpreting baseball jargon.  Keywords: sociolinguistics, jargon, baseball, Money Ball
