Reply to comment by CarelessHisser in TIL In The 1930s, Baseball rivaled Soccer In England, attracting 10,000 spectators per game. In 1938, at the inaugural Baseball World Cup, Great Britain defeated the USA 4 games to 1. The outbreak of WWII interrupted the sports ascendancy, and it never recovered its prewar popularity. by contextual_somebody

Yep, played by the rules of the Football Association, and not by the rules favored by some schools that didn't join said association... Like Rugby College.
