[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 128885"] I'm a cricket fan so I am perfectly content with sitting back with beer and snacks and staring at a TV screen for hours on end at something which, to the naked eye, may look like paint drying. Thus, as an extension, I like watching baseball highlights. I think MLB should try and invest in nations where Cricket is popular like the Asian sub-continent rather than having this obsession with pummeling nations who [i]just don't like the damn game[/i] with non stop exhibition games, investment and unwanted invites to the Baseball "World Cup". The strangest paradox was that during World War II, you had two baseball mad nations (Japan & the USA) pitted against each other. Each accused the other of endangering their way of life before saying sternly to the camera "now watch this pitch!" In fact there are a fair few Japanese films about heroic Japanese baseball stars who volunteer for kamikaze missions against the yanks or desperate raids against the British in Burma, etc. Weird. Just weird. [/QUOTE]
