    Hot dogs, cold Budweiser, and sweltering heartland bleachers that you can (and probably will) fry an Oreo on. There’s nothing more American than a ballgame...unless of course said ballgame is being played an ocean away under the shadow of Big Ben, as it will be this weekend for the MLB’s inaugural London Series. Pitting the Red Sox and Yankees—two of ‘Murica's most ‘Murican franchises—against each other for the first time on foreign soil, the MLB’s latest desperate attempt at relevance got us thinking: What would baseball look like if America had lost the Revolutionary War? As it turns out, totally different and entirely the same.

    Pete Rose still a hero

    Someone tell Pete there are more bookies than Starbucks in the UK.

    No-Hitters now called “Nil-ers”

    You're absolutely right Mr. Cumberbatch, that does have a nice ring to it.

    Dingers still called dingers

    On second thought, that’s already pretty British.
