Information
On Our 2012 Old European Road Trip

The requirements are simple. First, the ability and
desire to play
baseball in a unique international setting. Second, an interest in
international goodwill and sportsmanship (e.g. if you swing the bat at the ump
after a called strike three, please try rotisserie baseball). Third, a
historical interest in the sites, sounds, and images of past and present
Old Europe. Sound interesting?
What’s involved in this once in a lifetime opportunity?
First, you will depart America on June 22nd and arrive in Budapest the next day

against teams from across Europe.
We will also spend the non-game daytime hours sightseeing in Budapest, Vienna
