The earliest forms of baseball incorporated the defensive strategies and skills of protecting one's territory against others. The ancient arts of throwing (distance warfare), hitting (close quarters combat), and running (attack and retreat) were incorporated into the game. Early humans recognised the importance of the sun and knew that without it life would be doomed. They sought to placate the sun by respectfully deifying it. The sun was viewed as a living entity and which like every living being must also be in need of drink and food. The game developed under the early Celts/Druids served them as a means for military, religious, and social education. As the Celts/Druids came under the control of their Roman overlords, and later the Christian Church, their customs and practices, including their games, fell out of favour. Despite this persecution, some of their 'folk-games' survived the millennia and are known in recorded history under such innocuous names as 'stool-ball', 'tut-ball,' and 'base-ball.' Others such as the Teutonic and Scandinavian peoples added their contributions to early British traditions. The descendents of the Early British, despite the loss of their traditions and languages, were still able to connect with each other and enjoy themselves in their ancestral games. These variant games were taken to the New World where the accepted standardization of their various informal rules led to the rapid spread and development of the modern game of baseball.

Born in 1979 in Grenada as one of eight children, living in a two-bedroom hut, surviving on meagre meals of beans and rice and walking barefoot, three miles to school. At 13 Johnson Beharry quit school and worked as a decorator and labourer. In 1999 he scraped together the airfare for England and joined the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment. He served six months in Kosovo, three months in Northern Ireland and then went to Iraq. On 1 May 2004, Beharry helped assist a foot patrol caught in a series of ambushes. His vehicle was hit by multiple rocket propelled grenades but he drove through the ambush and extracted his wounded colleagues from the vehicle, all the time exposed to further enemy fire. He was cited on this occasion for 'valour of the highest order'. While back on duty on 11 June 2004, a rocket propelled grenade hit Beharry's vehicle incapacitating his commander and injuring several of the crew. Despite his very serious head injuries, Beharry took control of his vehicle and drove it out of the ambush area before losing consciousness. He required brain surgery for his head injuries, and he was still recovering when he was awarded the VC in March 2005.
