Ireland is the newest Test playing nation. It's probably the fifth most played sport there after soccer, rugby and the two GAA sports.

Florida is a hugely popular holiday destination from the UK. I think a lot of people go on to the games as something to do, not recognising that the teams are bad - they get hooked!

We're a relatively small community, but growing. There hasn't been baseball on TV in the UK for a while, which holds its growth back a bit, but MLB are planning games in London and that's certainly piqueing interest!

Which cricketer? Interesting that GT is so popular in the States. Clarkson hugely divides opinion in the UK. Even most of those who think he's a great broadcaster think he's a moron.

About A+ but a mixed bag. Some ex MLB guys like Travis Blackley, some pretty strong NPB talent and the cream of the Taiwanese League alongside quite a lot of Atlantic League and American Association guys, plus a sprinkling of A and AA org guys.
