Baseball is not an unknown in the UK. There are more than 40 baseball teams, 875 adult and Junior (Under 18) players ranging geographically from Croydon to Liverpool, Portsmouth to Edinburgh. The Junior Great British National Team consists of 15 players which recently competed in the European championships.
shareI couldn't tell you if my town has a baseball team. I couldn't even tell you if there's on in my county and I'm pretty sure 99.9% of the population would agree.
shareAmerica has curling teams, too, but most of us couldn't tell you anything about it, and the few that could probably only know that the players push an oversized hockey puck around an ice rink with brooms.
