- MLB Europe & BBC Sport presenter, Felix White heads to Wrigley Field, Chicago ahead of the ‘MLB World Tour London Series presented by Capital One’ to get a first-hand experience of the epic Route 66 Rivalry between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals.
He catches up with Cubs legends, super fans and even tries to teach Patrick Wisdom and Hayden Wesneski the art of cricket 🏏. Could we see a baseball player make the switch to cricket in the future 🤔? And what is it that makes this rivalry so special?
You can watch the MLB World Tour: London Series live with exclusive commentary from Felix White, Melanie Newman and Xavier Scruggs on BBC Sport and iPlayer on Saturday 24 June 6pm and Sunday 25 June 3pm.

Felix shouting "CATCH THAT" to no one is peak village cricket... On Wrigley Field. Phenomenal.
1st rule, balls in the air, gotta yell it out no matter where the actual fielders are
@@Basetornado absolutely true, just in case a fielder needs a reminder on what he has to do if a catch comes to him/her.
@@rocketrabble6737 ha tbh for me it's more a "hey stop daydreaming"

As a baseball fan who admittedly doesn’t know much about Cricket but is eager to learn more, batting in Cricket is a totally different animal than batting in baseball
It’s so defensive in comparison with baseball batting- At times they remind me more of a goalie in hockey deflecting shots than a baseball batter
To learn more about the basics of cricket, Ninh Ly's the rules of cricket - explained is good. There is a longer video by Sports Explained, which is more densely-packed. I make videos on specific aspects of cricket.
Yes.. That Defense is Considered a Skill coz even if Edge of the Bat touches the Ball before landing in Fielder's hand, Our Batsman is Out, for that day.. If defence went wrong, it may pave way for the Ball to hit the Wicket again for our Poor Batsman..
Watch MLC watching a game is best way to learn it
There is a different raison d'etre in cricket because you have more time on your side as a batsman. A home run is a significant event for a baseball batter; it could win the game. In the normal course of cricket it would have little significance on its own. You have to stay in to make meaningful scores in cricket and that includes defending the bowler's best balls so you can exploit other deliveries.
It depends on the match situation. The freedom is with the player to play how he wants.
The second the cubs won in 16 I drove straight to my grandma's house and cried and gave her a huge hug. She passed two years later. So grateful she got to see it happen
Patrick Wisdom realising that as a batter in cricket you have so much more control over what happens and options about what you can do
Cricket is the best sports 😍i love it❤️ and baseball is so similar to cricket so from now I'll start watching baseball too
You should do this with EVERY MLB TEAM 😮
I Agree this was fun to watch
Passionate fans of baseball (and I mean those who really enjoy the sport inside and out) know fully well, no two games are ever the same. This rivalry always delivers, even if both teams might be below .500 before 1 August (which doesn't happen too often these days.) Just wait until you see the fans outside West Ham and the way the fans get into the game early and often. That experience alone is worth the price of admission, long before the 2 1/2 or 3 plus hours whizz by and the game ends up being very close up to the last out.
only took 16 minutes to get to the part in the title lol
😅😅
Nolan Arenado really couldn't step out of pre game interview mode
Thank you for having me on cubs players try cricket with felix white for the first time
The inaugural bilateral human being baseball teams coming to a pagoda near you in London. Go well Conrad!
@@AlmondXIIIcheers almond
Just like when they played Baseball at The Oval!
I will watch on the iplayer this weekend. Baseball in my timezone will help!
*CRICKET AND FOOTBALL ARE THE BEST GAMES*
Football ⚽️ and Baseball ⚾️
@@Christian-xf4xm😂😂isl pan spotted😂😂
Football and cricket , two greatest British games 🗿
Great Video!
i love cubs content
Came to watch the cricket portion basically but it's way too short 😂
The batter in cricket has much more control over what happens and options about what they can do. They can leave or play the ball , defend or attack the ball, play with the bat horizonal or vertical, run or not run and play the ball any direction. The batter in baseball is much more limited in their ability to control the game as they have fewer options available to them.
Baseball does everything you mentioned besides batting vertical and choosing to run or not
@@philmccracken179 Baseball batters cannot play the ball in any direction. I like baseball and see why people love it. Hitting a round ball with a round bat is probably the hardest skill in sport, maybe too hard to be a fair contest between bat and ball
@@AkilaJayasekerabaseball batters can hit the ball 360 as well
@@philmccracken179 Any hit behind the foul line (270 degrees) is a foul ball surely
@@AkilaJayasekera yes you are right but you can still do it. Sometimes they hit a foul ball on purpose just to survive
Nice jacket. River Island?
really enjoyed seeing an add every three seconds
IMO MLB should have started a cricket league using franchises of MLB teams to tap into the fanbase. ie Cubs Cricket (or Cubs Cricket Club), Cardinals Cricket, Yankees Cricket etc. Bit late now maybe with Major League Cricket underway, but maybe some ownership groups can still get in on it by franchising team names and logo etc. Personally I'd be hyped for Boston Redsox Cricket Club to join MLC.
can we have cricket player vs baseball players match with some mixup
Baseball and Cricket are twins but latter is more complex.
Lets go cubs
The side I'd be really interested to see is how baseball players deal with the concentration of batting in cricket. Like you could potentially be batting for 3+ hours and facing 300+ balls in an innings of test cricket, whereas an AB in baseball might last at most 20 pitches (that being the record I think). The ball comes with less velocity in cricket as it isn't thrown and bounces off of the pitch but the amount of decisions a batter has too make is much much higher.
17:03 the most cricket high-five you'll ever see. (This is why they bump knucks instead, 🤜🤛 lol 😅)
Now imagine that ball coming at you at the speed of 155 kmph
Baseball players handle faster balls, they know what that speed feels like.
@@xaviercopeland2789 cricket is completely different from baseball. balls are bowled much more faster as compared to baseball
@@lordish4229 no they are not. Baseball pitchers routinely throw over 95 or even 100mph
@@lordish4229Even though balls are bowled faster, they bounce before reaching the batter.
@@NikhchansGaming and its lot more harder to hit a bouncing ball because it changes its direction (swing)
MLB needs to do a Giants v. Dodgers series in London. That would be sick
Only problem with Giants/Dodgers in London is that both teams are from the Pacific Time Zone. The travel times involved, and the resulting jet lag, would be insane for teams 8 hours out of their normal time, causing them to likely take serious losses in their first series back in North America afterwards.
The teams need to adopt a city in the UK. Manchester Cubs vs the Birmingham Cardinals anyone?
There are already cities called Manchester and Birmingham in the States. So you either incorporate that or confuse everyone!
GOD BLESS

Your name is Felix White…? Why didn’t you become a lawyer?! (Phoenix Wright)
Socially distant brought me here.
Not an MlB fan at all. But are we becoming Cricket county now
County? or Country? In England, Professional cricket is traditionally based on 18 First class counties (17 in England and 1 in Wales) and 19 Minor Counties.
What?
The 145 to 150Kmph speed ball coming to you 😛
It's common for baseball pitches to be over 90 mph.
@@cricketexplained8526but throwing is easy to every cricketers.. But bowling is not easy even cricketers too
@@niranjanj6930 Throwing mechanics in baseball is much better than cricket but yes bowling is harder than pitching
@@fordastreeets8019 pitching is you can allow to hold elbow. But bowling is couldn't allows holding elbow.. Thanks for understanding are u American?
@@niranjanj6930 I'm not specifically talking about pitching. In baseball, the whole team needs to know how to throw the ball. The whole point of wearing gloves is not only for fielding but more for catching the ball from each other to get the batter out (watch baseball double plays/triple plays) Being good at throwing is essential for all positions in baseball. And no I'm not American
Boog is one of the finest
Wisdom is pretty good with stance and swinging bat! 🤙👽
CUBS PACKING THE CARDINALS
Looks like FuN🎉
This is painful to watch with like 3000 commercials
Go Cubs 🐻 Up the England 🏴
Major League Bazball
W cubs

there's no rivalry in sports like yanks-sox, Doesn’t compare I fear
Yes there are lots if you look into football (soccer).
In S America Boca Juniors and River Plate, Rangers and Celtic, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
These have all gone on for 50 years plus and have gotten people killed as well as causing riots.
Taking Celtic and Rangers in Glasgow as an example Celtic were the Catholic club and Rangers Protestant. You would not go to one team’s ground wearing anything associated with the other team unless you wanted to be sworn at, spat at, punched or stabbed.
yanks-sox? have you heard of India vs. Pakistan? England vs. Argentina? (different sport) You can figure out which sport if you think outside US.
@@AnandSantanakrishnan India Pakistan would also be in my list given the history between both since independence.
England Argentina less so as apart from the war in 82 England and Argentina have not been enemies over the years. Yes for some Argentines the Falklands (las Malvinas) are a big issue but for the English less so.
India vs Pakistan 😛
The mlb is 140 years old. Saying 50 years as if that’s a long time is strange
Oh ya this won’t mess up there swing at all…
you're right it won't
If doing that messes up your swing, you shouldn't be in the big leagues
Why is he saying commentry not commentary 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The same reason a Bostonian says fiyah and not fire. It’s called an accent, m8.
Shame both are losing teams. Sorry London.
Could have been worse. It could have been the A's!
First like and comment
@@luismiguelrodriguezdepaula3654 ?
Who?
Asked?
who the heck is Felix White? LMAO
Same here what the heck Cubs??
Youre never going to advance this worse version of Cricket in the UK, no matter how much money you throw at it lol
Limey
"worse version of cricket" what are you on about. Sure cricket is more popular but baseball is now considered a global sport whether u like it or not
@@fordastreeets8019once someone love Cricket then it's almost impossible to like anything anything about Baseball! Cricket is so intrigued and entertaining version of baseball
@@Tommyshelby202 I like both sports. there both similar but very different at the same time. saying cricket is a more entertaining version of baseball is a crazy statement tho
