Is there enough of a following in UK?

[gness]

I don't know about a following, TTT but I wouldn't be surprised.....if I can I'll be there!

John W Henry is asked that very question in your link.

I suppose some people must like it, or the guy wouldn't spend all that money on the deal.
I went to see a baseball game in NY and was thoroughly bored, even though I like sport in general.

It's a strange game for adults to be playing.

[Mamyalynne]

Yep, adults playing bat and ball games - will never catch on ;-)

[Old_Geezer]

It's American professional rounders though.
American "football" seemed to attract interest, as did American netball; so why not this ?

I don't think you can compare this charade to Tennis/squash/badminton.

clashing with a couple of world cup cricket matches in London, I see, so I'm guessing not a lot of cricket fans will go along for a look.

They are in talks to put Tiddlywinks on at the crucible as well.

[Mamyalynne]

Instead of Cambridge?

[emmie]

apparently there is a huge following here, can't understand it myself, but then i don;t really care for many so called sports.

anything that will get more than one country into the WORLD series

[youngmafbog]

Time will tell. I wont be there but it could attract a crowd. If it doesnt it wont be repeated.
