Graham Vearncombe was a goalkeeper for Cardiff City and for the Welsh international soccer team, and also played baseball for Wales during the 1950s. On a few occasions, the British and American versions of baseball have linked hands on the same park. During the early 1920s, Grange Albion played the crew of an American ship at the American game one evening, and the British game the following night. It is true that the original British game of baseball does not pack the crowds into the stadia as do the superstars across the pond. But it would be a pity if the domestic game, truer as it is to the roots of the sport, were to be neglected completely by the new baseball media.
British baseball is an entertaining game with a long history.
It is an indispensable part of the cultures of two of our great cities. This page last updated September 27, 2000.
