THE GAME OF BASEBALL IS THE THIRD MOST POPULAR SPORT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND ATTRACTS THOUSANDS OF FANS ESPECIALLY DURING MATCHES INVOLVING MAJOR LEAGUE TEAMS.
IN KENYA, THIS DISCIPLINE IS RELATIVELY UNKNOWN, AND MANY KENYANS EVEN IN THE SPORTING FRATERNITY KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT THE RULES OF THE GAME.
HOWEVER, IN MERU COUNTY THE SPORT HAS BEEN GAINING POPULARITY OVER THE LAST DECADE, AND RIGHT NOW MOST SCHOOLS HAVE EMBRACED BASEBALL.
AND AS GEOFFREY WACHIRA NOW REPORTS, THE COUNTY IS PLANNING TO HOST THE AFRICA BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS.
