A big part of summer in North America and Japan is baseball! Unfortunately, it’s not the same over here in Northern Ireland; I have yet to come across a game….or even see a baseball diamond. I remember in elementary school going out daily for the whole month of June for our phys ed class and playing baseball at the diamonds in the park behind the school grounds. I was never very good at playing, but I didn’t mind watching in person. I’ve been trying to teach my children a little about baseball over the past couple of years, but we have to rely on YouTube and our small back garden for practicing, but they do like it. After you’ve had a look at these baseball books, you might want to design your own baseball uniform, listen to Casey At The Bat with Maestro Classics, or try some additional activities.
