Bulgaria has signed up for participation in the Europe Baseball Championship 2017
Three teams will represent Bulgaria at the international baseball field in 2017. “Bison” and “Athletic” baseball clubs as well as the senior national team will take part in the Europe Baseball Championship 2017. The Bulgarian Federation (BBF) sent needed documents to the European Baseball Confederation (CEB) on the last day of applications’ submission. Firstly, teams will take part in qualifying match – in Bratislava or Belgrade city. After that they will participate in Federations Cup which will take place in Valencia, Spain. As CEA usually distributes participants geographically, there is a possibility that teams will play in the Serbian capital – Belgrade. It is expected that CEВ technical committee will announce the final list of two groups for the European Championship in late January. After that Bulgarian players will be able to know their opponents.
What a surprise. Bulgaria in the European Baseball Championship. I don’t believe, they will chance to win. They even have sent their documentation on the last days. It is really makes me funny. I don’t believe in their victory. Maybe, they made some progress in comparison with another years. But it is not enough. I suppose, that European Championship should be held among the strong teams. And Bulgarian isn’t one of them. They need more practice and to take part in some lower tournaments. And maybe, some day, they will become a really professional baseball team.
