The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox arrived in London to show people on this side of the pond what the game of baseball is really about, bringing the two clubs’ ongoing rivalry with them. Major League Baseball (MLB) arrived in the UK for the first time last weekend (June 29-30), complete with a custom-built pitch at the London Stadium in Stratford and an entirely new language of broadcasting plus some unusual technology in play, for the Brits at least.
