    The Manchester City - Houston Astros comparison based on opening the check book is utter garbage. While both teams have had a lot of success over the past few seasons, the Astros field 4 homegrown superstars. Man City bought most all of their talent, it didn't arrive from their academy. Currently the Astros payroll ranks 8th in the MLB, up from 17th the year they won the World Series(2017), while Man City rank 2nd behind United. Please do not insult the Astros so cheaply.

    Nottingham Forest deserve to own an mlb team, in fact they WERE ACTUALLY A BASEBALL TEAM IN THE 90'S OF 19TH CENTURY AND EVEN WON A title in 1899
    I would love to see them owning a baseball team in the u.s their fans deserve it their best fit in Cincinnatti Reds fans who are now crying due to bad owners, Forest would be perfect for them same stadium location, museum, old and rich club it will work out if it's gonna happen

    Great video and interesting analysis. Honestly as a Cubs and Arsenal supporter. I think we are closer to the Cardinals or Dodgers, pains me to say it especially the Cards, over the Mets. Rich tradition, 3rd in trophy haul, play entertaining/attractive everyone knows us.

    1. If you went to the US and went to a college there,pick that city's BB team
    2.If you like a cities football or basketball team , then pick that city's BB team.
    3.If you have friends or relatives living in a city that has a BB team then pick that BB team.
    4. dont pick any team just enjoy the sport.

    If we’re talking about Brooklyn Dodgers, than Spurs in a landslide. But the current Los Angeles Dodgers is somehow very similar to Liverpool. Both have a winning culture despite choking in the end. Excellent coaches that built a healthy culture in the clubhouse. Historic stadiums with some controversy. Excellent youth system and players that other teams will over pay for in order to get. And passion fans that fill out the away stadiums.

    The Nationals are a better comparison to Tottenham than Cleveland and here is why
    Remembet when the Nationals won the ws the same year they let their biggest star walk out of the door
    Well, Harry Kane the best player in tottenhams history left the club for bayern and many people including me thought that spurs will finish bottom half but they 2 games into a season they havent lost a game and are playing more of a team as they just beat Manchester United first time they beat United at home in 7 YEARS

      This year the Reds had their worst start in franchise history at 3-22 but since than they have a winning record at 17-13🤔🤔
