Why are you taking that argument here? It's not meant for that. I've thought of posting this yesterday but couldn't. So, it may look like a response to your post but it isn't.

Here you just need to accept that Baseball has been copied out of Cricket.

So you are saying Baseball is like the iphone and cricket is like an old rotary phone? A better version of old technology?

No, I'm saying Baseball is a cheap copy of Cricket. Cricket has been and is a gentlemen's game forever and will be. But Baseball was adopted for reasons otherwise.

Yeah because Americans preferred a game of their own rather than the game the British brought. I think that's a cool element of the history of both games.

It could be pretty cool had they stayed playing Cricket. But those days were such when there was a lot of divide among frivolous things. BTW Baseball isn't a game Americans invented (ah, I'm spoiling part two) You're taking it pretty lightly. I'll have some more shocking revelations in part two to irritate Americans. Haha.
