“I found (the guide) very interesting
and learned a lot about Italian baseball. I never knew pitchers only had three pitches to warm up between innings.”
– Matthew, Claremont, California
Amazing architecture and history; the
rolling hills of Tuscany; and great food come to mind when you think of Italy. But baseball? Ah, well, not exactly. Believe it or
not, they’ve been playing organized baseball in Italy since the end
of World War II and the Italians came to America
to participate in the World Baseball Classic. You learn more about the unique history of Italian baseball in The World in a
Ballpark: Baseball Goes Global, which is available for purchase
at the Buy Joe's Guides page.
In its effort to grow the sport beyond
North America, Latin America and Asia, baseball has targeted Europe, including its Dutch Treats!, plus South African Plain and Down Under, Mate! as its next frontiers. That means opening a baseball academy in Italy and one day bringing an exhibition game to Rome’s
soccer stadium.
