by the way, in any case this is the most qualified and exciting International tournament in Baseball...

 

for what concerns the Olympics, a few days ago the MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred made a press conference and expressed many doubts that the MLB players will be available for Tokyo...

at the moment, all the owners are totally against the Olympic break (and they will never release their players if the season is not stopped in those days)...

so, I guess we're going to have another soap opera like the Hockey one for Pyeongchang from now to 2020...

after the Japanese NPB and Korean KBO started 2 days ago, today's the day!!!

in a couple of minutes the new MLB season gets officially under way in Tampa, where the New York Yankees are hosts to the local Rays...

I'm so excited...

Slovakia is a co-host of the current Under 23 European Championships !!! (Don´t really understand the reasons of receiving such honor, since this sport has probably bigger popularity in Mars than in this country)  http://www.eurou23.com/

 

But Anyway as a co-host we have automatically also a team competing . Today we played first match in Trnava against France, losing 0:11.
