Hey, I *coached* that CUBS team. I want to say for the record that the Goldberg/Khalidi double-play combo was great, and it was great to have you both on the squad. I've often thought back on the experience as a great example of how common ground--in our case, an improvised baseball field in a public park in Cambridge--makes it easy to relate to people from very different backgrounds on a human level.
As to our success playing baseball in a land of cricketers--well, a good many of our British players were cricketers to begin with. They took to the field pretty well, but as I recall it took them a while to get used to batting.
