It’s the only “North American” sport I’m really into. Got into it by pure chance in my student days in the early 00s via Channel Five and got hooked. They had an endearing crew covering between innings in a slightly ramshackle and irreverent style, made up of British and ex-pat Americans/Canadians. Nice nostalgic write up here: https://theathletic.com/1040282/2019...y-2000s/?amp=1

Followed the show until it sadly went off air in the late 00s. Lost touch with the game until a few years back and have got back into it again. Watch a game a week, give or take, and listen to Baseball Tonight a few times a week.

Wish BT Sport would resurrect something similar to the C5 setup for a UK audience now they have the rights.

It’s a big sport in Japan too and worth going to watch a game there should the chance present itself, bit of a different atmosphere and experience.
