Actually, I know the menaing of "in the ball park of", but couldn't understand "in the ball park of innuendo" because my dictionary just says "Innuendo is indirect reference to something rude or unpleasant."
Could you tell me where you draw the meaning, "Their performance together was not at all sexually suggestive?"
