Well, they used to get us American kids out and make us play cricket (they had to make us.) That was a fun game. Shame that more of us don't get a chance to play it.
Also a shame that you don't see American kids out in a field somewhere playin' baseball like you did when I was a kid. Of course, I live in an urban situation so it may still be going on elsewhere.
Line em up at the gate I'm ready ;O)

Aussies continue to steamroll over the Kilt-wearers as they reach 191 for 2 after 34 overs. Hayden fell on 60. Ponting is 66 not out.
Canucks have stumbled a bit to the Kenyans, they are 130 for 5 wickets after 36 overs. Kenya has taken the key wicket of Davison, Canada's star allrounder and captain. He only managed 8.
