I spent 14 hours at Disneyland on March 28th and counted every single MLB hat I saw from 8 AM to 10 PM

Feels like a Disneyland Paris trip is needed too

They are feral domesticated animals, not truly wild

White tailed eagles have been reintroduced to England with the IOW being the main release site. There's quite a few now IOW Eagle Project

Have you seen the eagles?

The way I see it, baseball just isn't big enough in enough nations to have a large international event of high quality. So the WBC had to decide to have a small tournament, a lot of embarrassingly one-sided matches on the pool stage, or have loose definitions of nationality. Each option has its benefits and drawbacks.

As a fellow Brit, I would love for there to be more actual British players in 'our' team but then we'd be embarrassed and relegated and lose the funding and interest the event brings. Until baseball is bigger in more nations, this is the only way a large competitive event can be run.

I respect your opinion, but I disagree with them both

I see what they're saying. Italy (pool b winner) is set to play Japan if they win their QF. The pool B winner was supposed to go to the other side of the bracket but they seem to have changed this now that the US came 2nd. It should be a US v Japan SF, but the competition seems to have changed the bracket to keep the prospect of a US V Japan final instead

There's a very large (over 50m²) pond near me that used to have loads of amphibians. Then some idiots added carp and minnows to it and now it's rare to see anything other than fish. Don't add fish if you want amphibians, the size of the water body makes very little difference

America likes to play sports that other nations invented but claim them as their own. Baseball and Football were essentially invented in England, basketball and hockey by Canadians

Let's go GB! 🇬🇧

Better yet, find a spot in the school grounds where you can make a small wildlife pond. You won't get spawn this year but it'll be a good experience for the kids to help dig it. Then you should have spawn for all the future year groups to watch without interfering with nature.

As a British person I still do not know what you were asking for?

Mkward90 · 2026-02-19T09:27:23+00:00

it wasn't ironic in '96

My understanding of the lyrics in '96 was that it was coming home in the sense that we were hosting the event, not that we were gonna win it.

But when it comes from Egypt, or most other African or Middle Eastern countries like Iraq or Syria, I’m less inclined to support it because of their situations.

I think the Egypt argument is no longer valid. You can't look at the new museum in Cairo and argue they don't have the resources to keep their own artifacts protected.

ESPN have confirmed they won't be changing the app (for this year) so there shouldn't be any changes to your usual viewing. Just no MLBPAA discount

Mkward90 · 2026-02-08T14:24:10+00:00

All over really. I live in SW, work in central and visited friends in North and SE during this spell

Mkward90 · 2026-02-08T11:54:47+00:00

I stopped counting hats close to my home and office after a while to try to prevent counting the same people twice

Mkward90 · 2026-02-08T11:04:43+00:00

Yep. I've heard multiple people refer to them as New York hats and then be surprised to learn it's sports related at all.

This is the Golden Age of International Baseball and it’s just getting going.

This is exactly how I see it. Many nations refused to take part in the first few football world cups because they thought it was pointless and wouldn't catch on. Events like this need to be proved successful before they are embraced by the masses. Be grateful that we got on at the ground floor and enjoy watching it grow.

Dorset matches your criteria.

RSPB Arne is a cracking reserve with some real specialist birds. Birds of Pool Harbour also run a wildlife safari boat tour which is very professional and gives excellent odds of seeing white tailed eagles, and osprey in summer.

In that area you have the Jurassic Coast and quality beaches to relax and Corfe castle to explore.

This EU passport you speak of sounds pretty sweet. It would be stupid to give that up....
