The countdown to MLB in London is on! Today we're joined by international events professional, Katie (who lives and works in London) and born and bred Brit, Andy (who is attending his first baseball game ever on June 24!) to get all the insight on the upcoming St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs series in the UK. Will British royalty like King Charles be in attendance? Will American royalty like FRED BIRD be in attendance?! And most importantly - will there be beer for sale in the seats??? Plus get a fun perspective of what our friends in the UK may or may not know about America's Favorite Pastime as we take it Back to Baseball Basics and quiz Andy on foundations of the game. If nothing else, you simply must listen in for his charming British accent.
