Ukraine & Baseball

JULY 4TH 2022

Baseball has been an American tradition for more than a century, and, as it turns out, also has a rich tradition in Ukraine. More than 20 years ago, Basil Tarasko brought little league to Ukraine, and kids have been hitting and fielding ever since. The Ukraine national team competes in the bi-annual European Baseball Championship. But this year there is no baseball in Ukraine; the fields are empty and the ball parks are silent.This video provides a little history and insight into baseball and the people of Ukraine. 

Together we Save Lives and Restore Hope!
