I figured baseball wasn’t very big I only learned about the league a few days ago and have had trouble finding any info in English. I honestly doubted if there is more than one level of baseball in the Netherlands, but some googling turns out that there is. The highest division (‘Hoofdklasse’) included a Baltimore Orioles team. Thanks for the information.
I do love Rachid , so I’m glad to see him in Hoofdklasse.
