Baseball guys, baseball.  I would think this would appeal to most of you considering it is baseball and not guitar ball!  I mean, who the heck is the Rugby Mickey Mantle?  huh?  I got your rugby right here!*  hehehehe
 
Bill, tgo

who the heck is the Rugby Mickey Mantle?  
 
probably Jonny Wilkinson just now in terms of being well known but my all time great would be someone like jonathon davies, barrie john or Gareth edwards, all of whom are (surprisingly for an englishman) Welsh.
 
edit:  let's not forget the legend that is Jonah Lomu.  
Graeme
p.s. in my country, we call baseball rounders and it's a kids game ;-)

Pitchers and catchers report is one of the lovelier phrases in the English language.
 
Now if my Twins can finally figure out how to beat those Damn Yankees.

Hey, I mentioned baseball! I just did it quietly so as to avoid raising the hackles of a native New Yorker! I just wanted to expand the horizons of my knowledge while the opportunity presented itself.
 
Baseball is a kids game here too. We just pay grown men obscene anounts of money to play it. Should the players ever go on strike again just watch how many would offer to pay to take their place!
