Wait, What?
QuickTip: Absorb ideas one at a time.
Yep, you read that right. The 2023 series saw the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals trade bats (and maybe some nervous sweat) at the iconic London Stadium. Think about it: fish and chips and foul balls, double-decker buses and double plays – a true meeting of cultures.
Who Won the Battle for Baseball Bragging Rights?
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
It was a nail-biting series, folks. The Cubs, with rookie pitcher Justin Steele dealing heat, took the first game 9-1. But the Cardinals, those feisty birds, weren't about to go down without a fight. They clawed their way back in game two, winning 7-5. So, in the end, it was a split decision, proving that good baseball is a global language.
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.

But Isn't There a 2024 Series Too?
You betcha! The 2024 series just wrapped up in June, featuring the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. Those two East Coast rivals brought their A-game (and maybe some soft pretzels) to London, keeping the baseball spirit alive across the pond.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
