Thanks to Netflix the amount of British TV shows I watch has jumped. Recently I have been watching Skins and noticed that the use of baseball bats as the weapon of choice amongst the criminal element seems to be very high. At first I thought nothing of it, but then I saw it happen a few more times and started to think about it. I also have seen baseball bats used in other British shows as well. Baseball is pretty much a fringe sport in England. How do all these folks get a hold of baseball bats? I have been in British sports shops and do not remember seeing baseball equipment. Though when I take a look at The Decathlon stores (British sporting good chain) website I see baseball equipment prominently displayed.
I guess Im perplexed by the fact that baseball is not really played in England and the availability of baseball equipment.
