I’m not actually from Ireland. I made a documentary about the Irish National Team back in 2006. I’ve stayed in touch ever since and I’ve helped them raise money for equipment and uniforms from time to time. This is my biggest undertaking to help them and I appreciate your support!

Thanks for your donation kappy! Ireland is probably at least a decade away from the WBC, but kids are playing in Dublin, Cork and Kerry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbOhHOwXBCk

if the Donald- as in Trump- was involved he would just
seize the poor Irish farmers land and build a ball park.

The families of those who died in bombings at the hands of Irish terrorists would disagree with your opinion.

Terrorism is terrorism. Unless, in your mind, terrorism committed by Arabs is worse than terrorism committed by white people.

Just donated $35. I was in Ireland back in 2007 for a cousin’s wedding & I came upon a group of youngsters playing baseball on a make-shift field that was used for Rugby in a small farm town about 20 minutes away from Mullingar. I joined them for the two days I was staying in the town & gave them pointers & fundamental lessons. They didn’t know much about baseball, but they loved it. I would love to see Ireland field a competitive baseball team for the WBC before I die (I’m only 30 so they have a long time to work on it, I hope).

My mother’s maiden name was Ireland. Her two brothers had four sons between them. Guess what they’re getting for their next birthdays.

This is wonderful, John. I just got back a little over a week ago from my first ever trip to your beautiful island. Count me in.

If you build it, the English will come. And take it from you. Then charge you rent to live on it until a famine drives everyone overseas. On the bright side, you’ll wind up running politics anywhere there are free elections except Japan. The Irish just never quite got on there.

I respectfully disagree. I think comparing the Irish independence movement to al Qaeda is offensive.

Your Skipper married? You might be able to change OHR’s mind if the Skip has a fetching wife of child bearing years.

Just hoping you’ll break your arm one way or another, eh? I’m not sure if this is or is not a good idea.

Thanks Craig!

I wish Old Hoss was supporting us too, but I guess beggars can’t be choosers.

Once you’ve fathered children with the skipper’s wife he’s generally reluctant to impose such nonsensical rules.

I’m pro-kermit, too. If only I’d known his religious affiliations were extremist. Dang. Oh well. I’ll just have to switch to Animal. He’s a hippy.
