I loved your original British and Irish Baseball dynasty report on the forums.

Same here!
Might I suggest a book I just finished reading: "How Football Began: A Global History of How the World's Football Codes Were Born" by Tony Collins.
"The book explores how the world’s football codes - soccer, rugby league, rugby union, American, Australian, Canadian and Gaelic - developed as part of the commercialised leisure industry in the nineteenth century. Football, however and wherever it was played, was a product of the second industrial revolution, the rise of the mass media, and the spirit of the age of the masses."
It's a bit pricey on Amazon, but maybe someone will show you somewhere to download the book for
free...
