Course the actual truth is nearly noone plays it here, we just tend to be good at what we do.

It's on its way out now. It better be popular somewhere...
Ahhh, Spring. The sights, the smells, the agonizing sounds of negotiations, strikes being called, the crack of the corked bat against the juiced ball, and ballpark fences being moved ever closer to the plate...
Ah, yes, baseball. America in a nutshell!

World Champions in what?
Baseball - World Series, 2 countries - Yawn.
Tennis?
Golf?
Football? - Manchester, yeah!
War on Terror? - Yep, Yanks got that one which is really war on Yanks.
For a country the size they are, they really are pathetic when compared to Australia, Sweden, Finland etc
Size isn't everything, guys.

Some one once said that baseball was a game for young kids and old men to watch.
The players are mostly just big kids. I don't mean that in a negative way. Old and decrepid as he may be, whenever I see Ted Williams, I see "The Splendid Splinter" circa 1941, in grainy b&w newsreal. Baseball has history. You don't just make history.
To the Unreg: Even though the "Major Leagues" is limited to teams in the U.S. and Canada, the rosters are anything but domestic. The Caribbean and Latino players make baseball what it is, and have for fifty-plus years. And baseball in Japan and Korea--while developing somewhat independently--will have more and more of an impact in the future.
We're talking Pacific Rim, baby. Catch the fever.
