Global community celebrates World Baseball Softball Day
The international Baseball/Softball community celebrated World Baseball Softball Day around the world on Saturday, May 10.
The World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) encouraged stakeholders to use World Baseball Softball Day to showcase their spirit and love for the sport by sharing photos, videos, and stories that capture the essence of our beloved sport and everyone definitely got into the spirit.
Here's a selection of some of the great #WBSD posts starting with the Nijiirosoftball.com website, a softball hub in Japan, who shared this video.
Another tip to celebrate World Baseball Softball Day was to share the journey. Baseball Canada focused on a decade of improvement and development.
Softball Canada also joined the conversation.
In WBSC Europe's view, softball is "the teammates who become family, the coaches who inspire us, and the joy that brings us all together on the field."
Great Britain's Women's Softball National Team decided to compile "some of the lighter moments" of their last international participation.
While the Switzerland Baseball Softball federation took the opportunity to look back at major milestones.
In short, and using USA Baseball's words, the second World Baseball Softball Day was an opportunity to bring the whole community together.
The WBSC celebrated its 10th anniversary on May 10, 2024, with the first-ever World Baseball Softball Day. On the same day in 2014, it elected Riccardo Fraccari its first President.
“We stand as a single, unified and strong International Federation. May 10, the day the WBSC was founded in 2014, is a day for us to celebrate our unity and strength, along with our eight Confederations and 191 National Federations,” Fraccari commented.
All in all, it was another wonderful celebration of global baseball/softball. You can continue to follow the conversation on social media with the hashtags: #BaseballSoftballDay #WBSD.
