Comments on: Sweet (Baseball) Dreams Are Made of This… http://omis.me/2008/12/21/sweet-baseball-dreams-are-made-of-this%e2%80%a6/ notes from om's daily journey Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:31:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Devan http://omis.me/2008/12/21/sweet-baseball-dreams-are-made-of-this%e2%80%a6/#comment-1975 Devan Mon, 22 Dec 2008 05:46:37 +0000 http://omis.me/?p=372#comment-1975 As a Sri Lankan expat living in Australia, cricket is a passion of mine (Ravi Shastri is a hero of mine), although I caught a Red Sox game a couple of months back on a visit to Boston and loved the experience. When I played club cricket, a lot of the best cricketers also played top grade baseball as well - phenomenal throwing arms and fielding skills! Certainly good for 'cross skilling'. It will be good to see 20/20 bringing the game to other markets who like a lot more entertainment and action in a shorter timespan.

I think with enough time and attention, India could be the next big baseball market. All MLB needs to do is expand its mind horizons. @Heather,

I had not realized you were a Yankees fan. Sox fan here. It does seem like cricket players would more easily make the switch as in my high school days I went from softball to javelin with little instruction. How unfortunate.
