The crack of a bat as it strikes a ball is the sound of summer in both the United States and the United Kingdom, albeit from a different sport in each -- baseball in one, cricket in the other.
The sound itself is also subtly different in each country because the two sports use different woods in their differently shaped bats. The reasons for this are mostly to do with history and tradition (you'd be hard-pressed to find two sports more wrapped up in their traditions than these ones), but there are solid performance-related reasons as well.

While paying homage to the muscle car era, Charger R/T produces emissions so low it would meet the California Air Resources Board Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standard.

Not only is this powertrain clean, but it generates 325 horsepower, blending both power and ultra low emissions.

Activision is focused on bringing Call of Duty games to players for eternity, but the loss of iconic franchises like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Guitar Hero still stings today. Each Guitar Hero entry was more than just a rhythm game, but a direct portal into the pop-culture zeitgeist of the time it was released in. I’m ready for a new Guitar Hero game to arrive on consoles, and I’m sure the world is too.
