Thanks everyone for the cheers!
The guys had a GREAT time playing for Britain and experiencing European baseball in the Czech Republic. They spent the first week in Prague playing in a pre-tournament with some of the other national teams, then everyone moved to outlying districts to begin the European Championships. We stayed in a picturesque little town with a surprising sports complex and travelled to other areas for some of the games. This was a fantastic opportunity for us fans too! We got to watch baseball daily and have an adventure at the same time.
I too am surprised to see another GB parent on the HSBBWeb! Nice to see you here sonisclass08, and good luck to the Cadets in their Euros.
Baseball is a growing sport in Europe which makes it especially surprising that it was cut from the 2012 Olympics. After the announcement about the 2012 Olympic games being played in London, our guys got to be future Olympic athletes for two days until the cut announcement was made about baseball.
