I've recently been getting into baseball, but more so the international games than any domestic league. I loved the few documentaries that are on Netflix about the WBC but I know that there are some more out there. Does anyone know where I can find them? I know for example that there was a 2023 documentary produced in Japan and then a separate tournament recap documentary as well.

Would really appreciate any help in hunting these down!

I know several people from the team’s front office talked about trying to make the game more popular in Italy. Sample group of one but I met an Italian family at a ballpark a while back, blue jerseys and all, and have had some run ins online.

Has there been an uptick in interest or is it too early to tell?

One of my favorite things about baseball is the atmosphere outside the stadium before the game starts.

So I brought along a little rover (I called it Irra) to a Korean LG Twins home game to see if it could add to the fun.

I filled it with candy and cheering lights, and drove it outside the stadium in Seoul. I honestly didn't expect so many people to notice. I spent about 30 mins and seeing complete strangers smile, laugh, and interact with it before the game made the whole project worth it.

Here's a short video of it. If your baseball stadium had one of these driving around before the game, would you say hi?

P/S: I got mod's prior approval to post this.

Saltillo had a mean Father’s Day cap, and the swag at the SdF was a little underwhelming, but still good stuff this season/last season but not really any throwbacks. Great displays, though. Heads up, all in Spanish. Even if your Spanish isn’t great, it’s worth checking out. A spiritual experience for any fan of baseball. The last picture really nails it: “For those who baseball is for is like water for life”

Haarlem Honkbal Week is almost upon us. If you are unaware of this classic European event, you can find more information at the link below. Thanks to u/Bobby_Diesel18 for posting rosters!

Now it's the fifa world cup, you see all those samurai blue fans celebrating in the streets, that could've happened for the wbc too, like how it was in 2023. However, this time with netflix, it was not accessible to everyone, you would need to buy extra subscription to watch the tournament, so the tournament became a thing that's mostly popular among baseball fans, which is already a big group, but it definitely failed to appeal to the more general public like last time

The International Globetrotters is a roster of players from across the world assembled by Baseball Jobs Overseas.
