Not only is the MLB season opening game the earliest it's been in MLB history, but The Yankees and Red Sox will open in London. Seattle will open in Japan. Thoughts on this? The NFL will follow suit. If Drump wants to make America great again, he could start by getting America's Greatest Pastime to play in...America.

spanky, when was the last time you went to a MLB game? Who cares if they have a few games overseas to start he year, they play 162 games! Some Americans are overseas for work / military service and I'm sure are thrilled to get a chance to go to a game.

I think the international sales of our no one sport is a great idea...Japan is base ball crazy and to sell our no one sport to the Europeans is a fantastic idea...perhaps a euro league will ensue and one in Asia and thus a new world class series of some sort will evolve...lo..and Cuba with a South American leagues...etc...would be nice to see...lol...

Basketball has the greatest international appeal. New African league will only broaden this. Baseball has it in certain parts of the world. NFL, not so much.

Lol....the appeal may have a lot to do with the African folk ,seeing folks ,once part of thier tribes / culture , doing so well playing basketball...lol...but I think the money just is not there to build a league good enough to play against our teams or even the Cuban teams....

Thanks for the African stereotyping.

I don't know if baseball will go over that well in Merry Old, it's too close to cricket.

Good points. I suppose I'm just old school when it comes to baseball. Clearly Japan and other countries have made other professional sports a success. On reflection, I suppose I should be thankful for the international flavor as my fantasy baseball team has more than one player from Japan...lol...
