Do you purposely look for poorly written, eight year old articles written in foreign countries about American sports teams?

Quite a hobby...

See what the British print media had to say about Dusty in the 2003 NLCS.

I just found a hillarious article written in the Miami Herald about a Cricket match played between England and Sri Lanca back in '98.

This is fun, torch!!!!

It IS interesting to see their reporting style. Providing height and weight, ages, explaining nicknames, and including a picture of a guys ass.

Those crazy Brits...

I'm more interested in the side headline: Uzi and Bullets Lobbed Into Cab
Do they not know how guns work over there?
