Used to love visiting the baseball ground Steve . I expect you know this strange fact but for everybody else’s benefit does anyone know what they , Derby that is , have in common with West Ham ?
Spill the beans. I have no clue

The club was formed by an Iron works company , the name of which escapes me , initially for Baseball and then in 1895 for footy .
