Our very own #BritishBaseball Hall-of-Famer, @joshchetwynd, is back in the booth @LondonStadium, this time with @GB_Baseball's @kayperbeats. #BBHOF #LondonSeries #MLBWorldTour

It’s @CDNBaseballHOF Induction Day! Congratulations to 2023 inductees Jesse Barfield, Denis Boucher, Rich Harden and Joe Wiwchar. 2020 inductees John Olerud and Jacques Doucet will also be honoured today.

What do you get when a podcast features a #BritishBaseball Hall-of-Famer (and elector) @joshchetwynd and the #BBHOF's @GB_Baseball Liaison (and elector)? A must-listen episode, obviously!

You can also get in touch here or at any of the other methods on the graphic and we welcome all questions and contributions. #BBHOF #BritishBaseball

All it takes to nominate candidates for the #BBHOF is a short bio outlining their accomplishments, with as many details, statistics, or quotes as you can. Project COBB has all sorts of fascinating information to make your task simpler: projectcobb.org.uk/top-tier_stats….

@britbaseballpod @GB_Baseball We have a few of those!

@ProjectCOBBUK @GB_Baseball Stats for an episode I'm working on 😁

Today is my non working day from my real job, so I'm doing some work for @ProjectCOBBUK for the @GB_Baseball archives Is there anything you'd like to see or know about the team? Or why not have a nosey on your lunch break and show us something interesting that you've found?

With only the hot stove league to keep our baseball gloves warm this time of year, what better way to recognise those who make our glorious pasttime possible than by nominating a long-time coach or official, volunteer, or player for the British Baseball Hall of Fame? #BBHOF

Margaret Borley MBE is the first woman inducted into the British Baseball Hall of Fame in 2010, the first member of the British baseball community to receive Queen's honours for work in the sport (2007), and her signature graces the 'Baseball Around the World' ball @baseballhall.

@harry_ford In fact, @harry_ford has more home runs (3) than @GB_Baseball in WBCQs COMBINED. In less than three full games. #LetsGoGB

In just 3 games, @harry_ford has hit more home runs than any other @GB_Baseball player in World Baseball Classic Qualifier history (h/t/ @ProjectCOBBUK)

@britbaseballpod @BritIceHockey And, of course, Bozo Fisk. We would love to hear the story behind that nicknme! #BritishBaseball

@britbaseballpod Hard to argue with the lineups here: #BBHOF member Roland Gladu, ace Jerry Strong, softball pioneer Bill Irvine, & legendary @briticehockey player Tommy Durling (whose Brighton club once defeated Czechoslovakia and who later coached South Africa in its first World Championship).

Anthony Taylor, a British-based collector, has kindly digitized the programmes from his collection relevant to @ProjectCOBBUK 198th Battalion (Canadian Buffs) versus Epsom Canadian Convalescent Hospital, in Godalming from the 10th October 1917.

It's official! The British Baseball Hall of Fame will add four players in the Class of 2021: Maikel Azcuy, Julian Dodwell, Martyn Dutton, and J.G. Lee. All four suited up for @GB_Baseball at some point over the last...112 years! #BBHOF bit.ly/BBHOF2021.

@earl_dix @britbaseballpod @LondonMets @CrammanJonathon Thanks for kind words, much appreciated. Good spot with Bloomfield, as he should be tied for fourth. More glaring, however, is that his six titles (tied for third all-time) with all teams are missing from that list, which is visible here: projectcobb.org.uk/national_final….

@ProjectCOBBUK @britbaseballpod @LondonMets @CrammanJonathon I’m sure Alan Bloomfield should be on that list. Sutton Braves, Cobham Yankees, London Warriors, Southern Tigers. This is great work.

The most recent title for the @LondonMets moved @CrammanJonathon into second place all-time for titles by an individual player in #BritishBaseball history. He passes Lee Pierce and is one shy of Brad Thompson, both of whom played for the Golders Green Sox and London Warriors.

@LondonMets @CrammanJonathon Thanks for the update. We have a lot of missing information from the three seasons preceding this one, so neither of those two were on the list. Attached is the full list based on available records, but guessing more Mets should be on it.

@ProjectCOBBUK @CrammanJonathon Sam Sproule and Jamie Dix also have 6 National Titles. Worth noting that both of them as well as @CrammanJonathon came through the London Mets development youth program as well

Here's one you might have missed from January, a chat with GB Hall of famer Martin Godsall of @LiverpoolTrojan Fame podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/mar…
