But that is quite an accomplishment coming from a country with almost no baseball culture, or knowledge of the sport. Last year the young Israel National Team won the European championship in the C division, so this year’s team competed in the 2015 European B Division.

Quite an accomplishment for these boys, to play in an European championship, against Ukraine, in Prague – and on Yom Hashoah.
