MLB Europe & BBC Sport presenter, Felix White heads to Wrigley Field, Chicago ahead of the ‘MLB World Tour London Series presented by Capital One’ to get a first-hand experience of the epic Route 66 Rivalry between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals.
He catches up with Cubs legends, super fans and even tries to teach Patrick Wisdom and Hayden Wesneski the art of cricket 🏏. Could we see a baseball player make the switch to cricket in the future 🤔? And what is it that makes this rivalry so special?
You can watch the MLB World Tour: London Series live with exclusive commentary from Felix White, Melanie Newman and Xavier Scruggs on BBC Sport and iPlayer on Saturday 24 June 6pm and Sunday 25 June 3pm.

Thank you for having me on cubs players try cricket with felix white for the first time
Wisdom is pretty good with stance and swinging bat! 🤙👽
Oh ya this won’t mess up there swing at all…
Why is he saying commentry not commentary 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Taylor McGregor. Mmmmm yummy
You should do this with EVERY MLB TEAM 😮
Shame both are losing teams. Sorry London.
Lets go cubs
Nolan Arenado really couldn't step out of pre game interview mode
Go Cubs 🐻 Up the England 🏴
Major League Bazball
Felix shouting "CATCH THAT" to no one is peak village cricket… On Wrigley Field. Phenomenal.
Nice jacket. River Island?
Just like when they played Baseball at The Oval!
there's no rivalry in sports like yanks-sox, Doesn’t compare I fear
Passionate fans of baseball (and I mean those who really enjoy the sport inside and out) know fully well, no two games are ever the same. This rivalry always delivers, even if both teams might be below .500 before 1 August (which doesn't happen too often these days.) Just wait until you see the fans outside West Ham and the way the fans get into the game early and often. That experience alone is worth the price of admission, long before the 2 1/2 or 3 plus hours whizz by and the game ends up being very close up to the last out.
W cubs
Socially distant brought me here.
only took 16 minutes to get to the part in the title lol
CUBS PACKING THE CARDINALS
The second the cubs won in 16 I drove straight to my grandma's house and cried and gave her a huge hug. She passed two years later. So grateful she got to see it happen
who the heck is Felix White? LMAO

GOD BLESS
This is painful to watch with like 3000 commercials
Youre never going to advance this worse version of Cricket in the UK, no matter how much money you throw at it lol
Is this the guy who had the cool call on the Swanson HR?
Your name is Felix White…? Why didn’t you become a lawyer?! (Phoenix Wright)
The teams need to adopt a city in the UK. Manchester Cubs vs the Birmingham Cardinals anyone?
As a baseball fan who admittedly doesn’t know much about Cricket but is eager to learn more, batting in Cricket is a totally different animal than batting in baseball
It’s so defensive in comparison with baseball batting- At times they remind me more of a goalie in hockey deflecting shots than a baseball batter
