Baseball in Greece – Fields of Dreams?
The Greek National Baseball Team will be competing at the European Baseball Championship in Hoofddorp, Netherlands. But depends on the capacity of the team to go. For the time being the Greek Federation of Baseball (EFOM) has not raised the funds for the team to travel to Hoofddorp. Although the enrollment fee of 3,700 Euro has been paid. It was raised by the Greek players. Unfortunately this is not the first time the players will be asked to economically support the National Team of Greece. They paid their expenses during the 2014 European Championship. Everybody agrees that this is unacceptable. Athletes, after all, are supposed to play, not pay. An analogous story is true for the National Softball Team. The Greek Federation of the sport (EFOS) is also unable to cover the expenses to send the team to Canada to the World Softball Championship. So EFOS is running a fundraising campaign to raise 10,000 Euro.
