Some sports need to crawl so others can walk and run.

Wait! Cricket is the 2nd most popular sport and Baseball is not even in top 5, none of your American copies are.

Cricket is wildly popular but that doesn't mean it is better or harder to play. Soccer is the most popular game and it is boring. Let's face it, people just aren't that bright. If they were they would all watch baseball.

Why are you taking that argument here? It's not meant for that. I've thought of posting this yesterday but couldn't. So, it may look like a response to your post but it isn't.

Here you just need to accept that Baseball has been copied out of Cricket.

So you are saying Baseball is like the iphone and cricket is like an old rotary phone? A better version of old technology?

No, I'm saying Baseball is a cheap copy of Cricket. Cricket has been and is a gentlemen's game forever and will be. But Baseball was adopted for reasons otherwise.

Yeah because Americans preferred a game of their own rather than the game the British brought. I think that's a cool element of the history of both games.

It could be pretty cool had they stayed playing Cricket. But those days were such when there was a lot of divide among frivolous things. BTW Baseball isn't a game Americans invented (ah, I'm spoiling part two) You're taking it pretty lightly. I'll have some more shocking revelations in part two to irritate Americans. Haha.
