Joey Mellows, the Baseball Brit, is a man who took an unfortunate situation and turned it into living every baseball fans dream. While teaching in Korea Joey fell in love with the game of baseball. When his plans for moving to the US fell through he looked at his life savings and decided he was going to spend 2019 trying to attend 162 MLB/MiLB/Independent league baseball games and share his love of the game with as many people as he could. We talked about what that adventure looked like, the difference between MLB and KBO baseball, and our favorite stadiums. (Some of our answers might surprise you.) It's refreshing to hear the perspective of someone who fell in love with the game of baseball later in life and outside of the US- we feel like we learned a few things in the process.

If Major League Baseball is going to London, we should to. But if you *can't* get to the UK for the upcoming series in June, at least take a minute (or 25) to introduce yourself to the growing and passionate #MLBUK community. Joey Mellows - the Baseball Brit - is here to help. From an introduction to baseball in Japan to a world-wide baseball tour last summer, Joey's journey around the game is the envy of many a baseball fan. But his goal is greater than just living the ultimate baseball dream - introducing more and more people across the pond to the game many of us in the States have always known. We talk Yankees vs. Red Sox, the booming UK baseball community, and where you can meet up with Joey this summer (St. Louis is, in fact, on the schedule!). Also, I get up on my soapbox about how we should all give the "Baseball is broken/dying" headline a rest, because... it's not. Let me know in the comments where you'd like to see baseball go next? And, would you like to see Cubs vs. Cards be the featured international matchup one year? Be sure to follow Joey on twitter @BaseballBrit, and while you're there, give @uk_cardinals a follow, too.
