WBSC launches new baseball-softball history section

WBSC has launched a new, dedicated section on the history of baseball, softball and the WBSC.

The section looks back at the origins of baseball and softball as well a timeline on all the key moments in the history of the sports and the international governing body.

The contents are based on the research for the publication of the second edition of the WBSC'S The Game We Love, a book on the history of international baseball and softball, completed in the fall of 2018.

A glossary also allows beginners to become familiar with baseball/softball slang.
