Baseball evolved from cricket and other american games, saying that the British invented baseball is like saying that because fire was (probable) first discovered in Africa the combustion engine is an african invention.

It was invented in Britain though. You took it from us over cricket though, and ran with it!

Actually, it's not as much cricket that baseball evolved from as much as rounders.

I think golf is Scottish. But they called it "gof" without the "l."

And Scotland is part of Britain. You would have a point if Alex had said "England."

Really, Britain can't claim credit for baseball and hockey. No matter their origins, they were made in North America.
