Is anyone in the Weber household a baseball fan? If so I assume he or she is happy that spring training has started.

Will someone answer my question please? I ask because it seems that David likes to put baseball into some of his stories.

You mean the US version of the game known over here in Olde England as Rounders and played by small children? I assume that David himself is a fan since he writes about it in the books.

Yes John American baseball. Don't all sports start out as being played by kids? I am hoping for an answer from someone who knows for sure.

Very true Jay! Please forgive my little joke. But seriously, I expect you'll get an answer from Sharon if you wait.

I see, John are you a comedian by trade or do you do it for the fun of it?

Neither! But it's a long-standing joke over here. You should hear what our rugby players say about American Football :).

While you are waiting, you may assume that DW is
an Atlanta Braves fan.

Do they call it "Lineball," John?

Football is a better name for the English game.
Not only does a foot touch the ball *much* more often,
but you guys named it first!
