The game of British baseball

Baseball is an exciting summer sport, enjoyed by people of all ages and boasting a long and proud history.

It remains a popular summer pastime, especially in the Welsh capital, Cardiff, and the neighbouring city of Newport, and today the Welsh Baseball Union (WBU) runs a three-division men’s league and cup competitions.

There are also junior competitions and a thriving women’s scene, organised by the Welsh Ladies Baseball Union.

The sport differs from US baseball in several ways, including the number of players (11), scoring (one run for each base reached) and the delivery of the ball (underarm, and usually known – as in cricket – as ‘bowling’).
