Remember when we were all questioning the viability of the NFL holding regular season games in London?  MLB will start the regular season this year with games in Sydney.

This is apparently what happens when a baseball diamond is dropped onto a cricket oval.

Or for 1/9 the price, you can just go to a game in the U.S.

That obviously doesn't include the plane ticket and accommodations.

It's not unusual to put a baseball diamond on a cricket pitch, especially in Australia. The Aussies *do* play baseball, as I can attest (Graehme Lloyd, Dave Nilsson).

I didn't realize cricket fields were so big. Those people in the green and red sections aren't going to be able to see a damn thing.

When I was growing up in Cleveland, the worst seats at Jacobs Field were $10. I spent a lot of time in those bleachers (although there was often a chance to improve your seating situation). Those people are going to be a lot further away than that, and they have to pay almost $70 for the privilege.

Florida over Michigan State, Arizona over Michigan, and Florida for the title.
