Reviving Baseball in Belize
It’s sometimes confused with softball, but a pair of baseball athletes from Belmopan is now trying to revive the sport in Belize. For about three years now, they have been working out with the youth out of west to teach them the techniques and foundation of the sport, which was lost among the new generation, but loved by our parents and grandparents.

If you were born in the eighties and earlier, watching the Chicago Cubs or the Chicago White Sox playing baseball on TV was a favourite pastime for the entire family. But as the years went by, the love for the sport dwindled, especially among millennials. And it is not to be confused with cricket or softball which to date is still played primarily in rural communities across the country. The last time baseball was played in Belize was in 1993, by way of a Little League.
