Baseball in Britain as been played since 1890, it's even said that the British game of rounders is actually the Father of baseball as we know it and if it wasn't for World War 2 that Britain could actually have turned into one of the top countries for baseball talent, reason being they started to play baseball in schools over here but at the start of the war they stopped and after the war they never started it up again.
