Major League Baseball - How long have the BBC been showing it?

[Bubo]

I've only just noticed the BBC are showing Major League Baseball on their Red Button channel. The final regular season games have just finished so I assume they are now going to be showing all the post season games? I've never really seriously followed it really but I've always been fascinated by baseball. I think it's down to us having nothing like this in our sporting calendar which gives it a high novelty factor for me and just the way the Americans build the atmosphere like they do around a simple game of Rounders. They had Jimmy Anderson on pundit duty the other day so they were trying to associate it with cricket which seems a bit of a stretch, but Jimmy seemed to be enjoying himself anyway. I know you can get it on TNT sports, but it was a nice surprise to stumble across it for free on the BBC
