It's february, that means it's time for the 1894 British Home Championship!

England are as favorites as ever, coming off back-to-back titles. Burnley's Frazer Williams is joining the rotation for the first time after being called up for the first time since 1890. In the lineup, 2B Daniel Barker will make his debut at 32 years old.

Scotland will be looking for their second British championship, though their team is pretty much the same as last year's with only a pair of potential debutants in the bullpen.

Wales get another shot at their first title behind 2B Shane Pollard in his 7th BHC appearance. Newton Heath's 2B Shaun Crofts (#4 prospect in the English Second Division) and LF Cedric Charlton could make their debuts this year.

Ireland will be trying to add as many wins as possible with Bangor native Raymond Enion at the helm. Wolves' Manchester-born Cedric Stewart joins the national rotation for the first time.
