To follow on from Joe’s post below, more details about the name change can be found in the latest edition of the British Baseball Federation’s Baseball Bulletin. This brings you all of the latest news, from both on and off the field, relating to British baseball and softball. Highlights include features on the Northern Knights’ participation in the Zulpich Tournament in May, the Great Britain national team’s second place finish in the Four Nations cup and the GB Juniors roster. Joe’s own great work in compiling and publishing statistics for the Southern League is given a well-deserved plug and there’s also a mention for BaseballGB as well. If you’re visiting the site for the first time having read about us in the Bulletin, thanks for giving us a look and I hope you enjoy reading our thoughts and opinions on the sport.
The one other main item to highlight is the news that the IBAF have announced tentative plans to create a professional European baseball league, which should debut in 2010. More thoughts on this can be found at Mister Baseball.com. It certainly sounds like something that will be of great benefit to baseball in Europe, both in developing European players and providing a high-level competition that can help sell the sport in this continent.Â
