Curtain call on the MLB season, and – bis repetita – it’s the Los Angeles Dodgers again who lift the World Series trophy, which our friends across the Atlantic like to call, with relative modesty, the « world championship ».
And what a show! 🌟
Superman Shohei Ohtani has once again defied the laws of possibility: three home runs and ten strikeouts in a single game. Yes, all that, all by himself. Alongside him, another hero with a Hollywood star name, Will Smith, has just added a sixth crown to his record, with no less than four different teams – a record that smells like legend.
We’ll also remember this 18-inning marathon match, twice the regulatory distance, which kept all of America on the edge of their seats until the end of the night. And what about the new Japanese wave? The prodigy Yamamoto, capable of pitching a complete game… and getting back on the mound the very next day! Pure samurai.
American baseball is back to its DNA: show, drama, thrill.
Plot twists worthy of the greatest sports thrillers, raw emotions, heroes and tears – in short, the great drama of sports, the one that gets crowds on their feet and hearts vibrating.
But while the MLB goes into hibernation, our gaze turns to another arena: the Baseball5 European Cup, which begins in Lithuania.
🎯 Today, France faces Ukraine for its entry into the competition. Four pools, four teams each, and a promise: short, explosive, urban spectacle.
The French Baseball5 team has all the cards to shine. Unfortunate finalists in 2023, beaten by the Lithuanians at home, they return with a vengeance and stronger. The President of the Federation said it last year: « Baseball5 is the key to renewal, the engine of our sport’s notoriety. »
So, if our Tricolores bring the cup home, it would be more than just a trophy: it would be a strong signal, a breath of fresh air for all of French baseball. A form of revenge for the other European baseball cup. ⚾🇫🇷
See you at the end of the week for the verdict – and, who knows, maybe a new glorious chapter to write.
