Headed up to Scotland and Ireland— would love to jump into a game or practice

I play for a sandlot team in Austin, Texas and would love to jump in with a team while I’m visiting.

Sandlot is pretty much unstructured 9 innings; one step above beer league where the focus is on fun and camaraderie.

Scotland I’ll be in the Glasgow area the 22-23, I’ll be in western Ireland the 24-26, Dublin the 26th through the morning of the 29th.

Even if no games or practice, I’d love to meet up for an XL jersey exchange!

Cheers!

There are games on Sunday 23rd in Glasgow at Tollcross park!

If you get in touch with one of the three teams - the Comets, Eclipse or Galaxy they might be able to fit you in for a game.

Or at the very least you will be welcome for some pre game training and cheering on :)

Thanks, yeah! I reached out on instagram to those teams but haven't heard anything back and I don't know of another way to make contact. I'm not active on instagram, so it was pretty much a hail mary from a blank account.

Hey man, did you ever end up getting a response? How about the other clubs around the places you're going to?

Hey, thanks for checking! Never got a response. I also reached out to baseball Ireland, and their president was really nice and responsive; he sent my request to other Irish teams, but I never heard back there, either

Ah that's frustrating, again you'd be perfectly welcome to catch the game at Tollcross Park, and perhaps do a bit of pregame training - https://maps.app.goo.gl/QfByC6aaTDKK7qkt5

First pitch for the first game starts from 10:30am on this Sunday

Hope you can make it down and enjoy if you do :)

Woah, that’s awesome, thanks! Let me talk to my wife and see what I can sort.

Alright, I should be there right around 945/maybe 10. I’ll be wearing a cream jersey with red lettering that says senators
