What do you get when a podcast features a #BritishBaseball Hall-of-Famer (and elector) @joshchetwynd and the #BBHOF's @GB_Baseball Liaison (and elector)? A must-listen episode, obviously!

All it takes to nominate candidates for the #BBHOF is a short bio outlining their accomplishments, with as many details, statistics, or quotes as you can. Project COBB has all sorts of fascinating information to make your task simpler: projectcobb.org.uk/top-tier_….

With only the hot stove league to keep our baseball gloves warm this time of year, what better way to recognise those who make our glorious pasttime possible than by nominating a long-time coach or official, volunteer, or player for the British Baseball Hall of Fame? #BBHOF

The most recent title for the @LondonMets moved @CrammanJonathon into second place all-time for titles by an individual player in #BritishBaseball history. He passes Lee Pierce and is one shy of Brad Thompson, both of whom played for the Golders Green Sox and London Warriors.

@CrammanJonathon is the only player to be a part of all eight of our National Titles! Mr. Met

Game 2 of the 1997 Nationals was the highest-scoring #BritishBaseball championship series game since 1894 and also the most combined runs any two teams have scored in a finals matchup. It is one of six 30-run games in title series history and the only one after the '94 bout.
18 Oct 2021
1997 Nation Champs London Warriors Beat Kingston Cobras 11–5 & 31–12 in best-of-3 series. G1, pitcher Maurizio Mosca got the W for the Warriors in a sloppy game that saw the Cobras make 10 errors; Andy Wiltshire took the loss; Neil Read hit a Home Run for Kingston
