Is there anywhere in Cork, Ireland to watch an American baseball game tonight?

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Florida, FWIW.

My first thought was to find a bar with access to ESPN America, which comes with the standard ESPN UK channel that most people get for football coverage. Unfortunately for you, the TV schedule for tonight does not include the Cardinals, but in future, if you find a friendly bar with lots of TVs, you might be able to convince them to switch one TV to the baseball providing there's no big footy games on. Perhaps someone more local might have a better solution specifically for Cork.

Good Luck. There's Champion League soccer on tonight so most pubs will be showing that I'm afraid.

OK, didn't see this earlier and I have NFI how you could watch the game other than using the interpipes and a VPN, but...

There are at least three more Mefites in Cork City, apropos of nothing...
