Baseball, our baseball, is the best of all sports. If it had the chance to compete on level terms with other summer sports it would still be the major sporting passion of south Wales and Liverpool. For players it's enjoyable as a game of skill and athleticism. For spectators, the action is open and visible. I recall the great days of the war and post-war years when crowds of 10,000 plus flocked to major games. The game has been neglected in favour of less spectator-friendly sports. It is due for a major revival because of its intrinsic quality and competitive excitement.
