History of the European Baseball Championship
The greatest popularity of this sport is in the countries of Asia, Latin America and the United States. Interestingly, after 1900, the game of baseball spread maximally. This period is usually called the “golden era” of baseball. The first European basebаll championship was held in 1954. Throughout the history of the tournament, 34 championships were held.
The USSR team took part in Eurobaseball for the first time only in 1990. And in 2001, the Russian national team managed to win the silver medal.
