Baseball is canadian too .. isn't it? ... put "baseball is canadian" into google and you get 197 hits, lol ... haven't read any, but i think we invented the modern ball itself or something .. of course ball-and-stick games had come from England long before, cricket was not the only version ..... Abner Doubleday who is supposed to have made up the current rules or something, really didn't, i read that somewhere, but his real claim to fame is he was commanding Fort Sumter when the first shots of the war of southern succession were fired .. or something like that [edit] - no detail on "b is c" on one of those pages, but there was this - '12. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany . 13. We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere. 14. Our civil war was a bar fight that lasted a little over an hour. 15. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American mercenary, who slept in and missed the whole thing... but showed up just in time to get caught. '
