Hi Guys,

I am one of the few baseball fans in england!! Glad to find the site, as I love talking baseball, though not many of friends follow the sport - you are all I have!

I love the Giants specifically, and am also interested in the negro leagues. As the season begins I will hopefully start my blog. I am a student here in England, studying History & Politics at the UNiversity of Sheffield.

Anyway, thats enough...

See you on the boards :)

Welcome aboard!! Maybe in the If You Must forum (for non-baseball sports discourse) you could help a lonely soccer fan in Michigan plug into British and European league play? :D

More importantly... Can you explain this Cricket thing to me. I tried reading a bit about it on an international sports site and I was totally lost. Probably the kind of feeling a british gentleman such as yourself may get reading about american football.
