As a cuban-american living in Europe, baseball still lives in my heart. With that said, supposedly the Belarus isn’t Europe’s top baseball-playing country, I hear. But I suppose its great achievement of them. And as I understand it, baseball is pretty serious in East Europe. As I see countries in which I would never though people play baseball. To me Netherland’s team got some levels among Europeans countries. When I was a student there the local baseball team offered to bring me aboard a few times. But their practice schedule clashed with the rugby I was playing at the time.
