Baseball, you know... we took cricket and turned it into a sport.

Ha ha lordnoble, I must have missed that part in the one game that I tried to watch one week. That all must have happened soon after I fell asleep for a couple of days. Although, I don't remember all of that running around and moving at all.

I lived in England for awhile so I saw a few cricket matches.
My view is that Cricket is really just baseball on valium.

As a crazy Giants fan, I like that theory, even though I don't smoke straight Virginias. GLP is from the Bay Area. I believe he worked at Druquers (sp.?), an old tobacco shop in the East Bay. Hence, his Fog City collection, which are all named for streets or neighborhoods in the city. Since I grew up in the Haight in San Francisco, I have always meant to pick up a tin of Ashbury. I grew up four blocks from that street.
