The Cubs’ Christopher Morel signs baseballs before Saturday’s game against the Cardinals in London.

LONDON — Londoners Chelsea Monteiro, Alfie Ferris and Emily Mae Ferris had never even watched baseball on TV when they got their first taste of the game at London Stadium on Sunday.

“First game, first everything, we’re obsessed,” said Chelsea, 23. “We love it.”

They got free tickets for their group through work and thought it could be fun. They googled the rules. They chose the Cubs to root for because they’d heard of the Chicago Bulls and thought, close enough.
