Baseball in Africa? C’mon, you’re
kidding, right? Well, actually no!
South Africa was a participant in the inaugural World Baseball Classic. You can learn more about baseball in South Africa,
and throughout the continent as well, in The World in a Ballpark: Baseball Goes Global
which is available for purchase at the Buy Joe's Guides page.
Major League Baseball International
has pumped millions of dollars into South Africa
alone – and for good reason. Now more than 10 years into its new democracy, following the fall of apartheid, the continent’s
leading economy has some of the best athletes in the world. And now all races are playing alongside one another – and
in peace.
Like the Aussies, Down Under, Mate!, South Africans are rugby, soccer and cricket players by trade. MLB scouts like the tough demeanor of rugby players and the
hand-eye coordination of soccer players and cricketers.
