That's no shock, since the precursor to baseball was invented in Britain, I believe. But you got to admit, it's not given the amount of press "football" is given.

the precursor of baseball was British, but it was not Cricket...it was Rounders.

When I was a kid we went tot he final of the Cardiff Baseball
League - the night began to draw in and St. Albans needed to win or the game called off to be champions.
someone opened the gates and drove cars behind the pitcher and put their headlights full on. The match was abandoned and the usual fight ensued.
Wos rough in them there days. My how we laughed.
