| Rare chance to see GB national baseball team on home soil |
On the evening of Friday 6 July, the GB candidates will face Johns Hopkins University, who are touring Europe with a party of more than 100 players, staff and supporters. The following day, the same group of GB roster candidates will face a selection of players drawn from teams in the National League, the British Baseball Federation's top division.
This will be the last evaluation opportunity for UK and Europe-based players prior to GB head coach Stephan Rapaglia making his final roster selections for the European Championships/Olympic Qualifiers in Barcelona in September, making this a very important event for British baseball. Last summer, fans flocked to Finsbury Park to watch a GB selection take on the Ireland national team as the Irish prepared for the European Championships Qualifier.
So, come out to Finsbury Park on 6-7 July to see some exciting, high-quality baseball and to support the GB team!
