That is correct. Prior to baseball's spread during the Civil War, cricket was our national sport, and up until the turn of the 20th Century, we were a world power in the sport.
I don't see how it isn't possible that we cannot regain at least a portion of that glory.

Interesting.
Funny thing is, today, neither the US nor Canada play test cricket, even though Canada is in still in the Commonwealth.
