British Baseball Pavilion returns in June

After a two-month hiatus as the British Baseball season got underway, the Pavilion is back on Thursday 14 June to give players, fans and associates a chance to come together and talk over the first two months of this incredible season.

In 2012 we find five unbeaten teams who’ve played more than five games, but impressively only a few more sides yet to win a competitive match, and all of the divisions are proving intensely close as the action has been well-contested across the country.

So if you are in or around London on Thursday (from around 6pm), join the Pavilion at Ye Old Mitre in Farrington, central London, only a few hundred yards from the original founding site of the first ever professional baseball league in the UK. There, you’ll be able to talk balks, bunts, home runs and hurlers with some of the country’s leading baseball enthusiasts.

Set up by Joe Gray, founder of Project COBB and Chair of the British Baseball Hall of Fame, and Michael Jones, BBF Special Correspondent and GB 23U Assistant Media Director, the Pavilion is a chance for fans of the Great American Pastime in Britain to get together and talk about their favourite summer sport, both the domestic game and in the international arena: A social occasion to enjoy the company of your fellow baseballers outside of the diamonds on the weekends.

Excitingly, the June session of the Pavilion will preview the upcoming GB tours for the Cadet, Junior and Under-23 teams, the London Tournament in Croydon and how so many clubs are improving both on and off the field as the sport continues to grow and develop here in the UK.
