actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
Add the wine repo and install wine:

In terminal run:

wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-
key add -

Now, this next bit depends on your release (find out with
lsb_release -c)

For Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04):
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/jaunty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

For Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10):
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

For Ubuntu Hardy (8.04):
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

Then run:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wine

You can now run:

wine /media/BASEBALL/baseball.exe

Ubuntu isn't necessarily better, it's just different. Neither OS is
superior. If you use Ubuntu, you will lose the issues inherent in
Windows and gain the issues inherent in Ubuntu. The OS is the tool for
the job, if Windows suits your needs then use Windows, if Ubuntu works
for you then use that.
