I’d prefer Matsui. Looks like he’s a sleeper. I don’t know if I’d trust his hands though. “Stop it, Hidecki! That one’s mine”. I'd prefer Matsui too. We could watch "interesting videos" the whole way on his laptop. |

Baseball in Jolly Old England. On a soccer field. I don’t know, but I think it may be a horrible idea... All I can do is watch...I wonder how reachable that roof is?... No roof. This is the stadium:
Automatic triple on a strike-three passed ball. |

Automatic triple on a strike-three passed ball. Seriously. |

It usually warm in most airports that I've passed through. Why are these guys all bundled up in these matching jump suits? |

Lots of $$$$ spent to make this 2-game set possible. It may have been less expensive to send free tickets and airfare to the Brits to go to Fenway... (:

I am sort of surprised that MLB thinks the British are going to become big baseball fans. To many others sports already are big there including cricket

With the odd dimensions and huge foul grounds there could be some embarrassingly odd plays and even a strange record or two could be broken... Five HR in a game, anyone? Maybe six? Record number of OF assists? Inside the park HR when ball kicks foul off the first or third base bag? Two base, maybe even three base strikeout on a passed ball? Purposely swinging at a wild strike three?
All possible, but since you can never quite imagine what will or won’t happen in baseball, maybe nothing odd will happen...
