Day 10 🇨🇿

The rain finally caught up to us. After a few schedule delays, both our semi final and second game of the day were cancelled due to the rain.

Thanks to our friends and the federation for hosting. Major congrats to our good friends at .

The rainy day didn’t stop the North boys from having a great last full day. Some guys hung out by the pool at the host hotel and others enjoyed some shopping and free time in old town. Our final team dinner was a fun filled soirée at the Pub. Awesome food, music & drinks set the tone for a night out on the town. A great way to cap off our final night together, one that will soon not be forgotten.

Day 9 🇨🇿

We kicked off our 3rd day at Prague Baseball Week with an awesome team breakfast at Panorama before heading to Eagles field for our game against the Lithuanians. The North both came out swinging and posted 5 runs in the first and never looked back. We got great pitching and some key hits that propelled us to a 12-2 win, clinching a spot in the semi-finals - with a match up against the Spanish National Team. BBJO and the Czech National team were set to battle it out to play the winner.

After the game, we enjoyed a great lunch at Eagles park as we celebrated the victory. The skies began to open up but that didn’t affect our afternoon plans. After some down time back at the hotel, Tour Director Greg led us though his own walking tour of Prague with stops at Prague Castle, the Lennon Wall, and Charles Bridge.

We ended the night with team dinner, banquet style at Zaklanda. The food and atmosphere were awesome. The boys toasted their teammates and tour leaders as a fantastic day came to a close.

25/06/2022

Day 8 🇨🇿

After an amazing breakfast at the Panorama hotel, we made our way into old town for a walking tour of the city. Our tour guide Tereza shared a ton of history with us. We visited the Powder Tower, Staré Město, a few cathedrals, and the Jewish Quarter. We learned all about the history of a Prague and the Czech Republic dating back to the 14th century. We got some awesome views of the Opera House and Prague Castle before heading back to the hotel for lunch.

We were up against a very good BBJO Globetrotter team in game 2 of Prague baseball week. Despite a gritty effort, we came up short but team morale remained high heading into our game against the Lithuanians.

After the game, we enjoyed some traditional Czech Goulash and dumplings at Salanda before the boys turned in after a full day in Prague. Tomorrow we take on Lithuania as the PBW round robin continues. A win will put us in medal contention.

23/06/2022

Day 7 - Germany 🇩🇪 to Czechia 🇨🇿

After breakfast, we loaded up our bus for a morning trip to our final destination - Czechia, to participate in Prague baseball week. We had a quick pit stop en route before checking into the beautiful Panorama hotel in Prague. After a quick lunch at the hotel - we made our way to Tempo for our first game of PBW against the Czech Prospects. Things did not go our way but they boys fought hard but came up on the losing end of a tough ball game.

After the game, we went out for our first team dinner in Prague. Lokal was excellent - the boys got their first taste of traditional Czech cuisine. After dinner, we walked around Prague 1 and circled up at the beautiful Staré Město. Despite the ball game not going our way, it was a great first day in Prague. Tomorrow PBW continues!

Day 6 🇩🇪

We kicked off our last full day in Berlin with a history lesson from the captain before jumping on the train for a day trip to historic, Potsdam. The boys learned about the meeting point of postwar cooperation between the Americans, the British and the Soviets. After lunch at Peter Pane, some of the boys stayed in Potsdam to hang out by the lake and others ventured back to Berlin for a visit to the East Side Gallery and Berlin Wall.

We had a great traditional Schnitzel dinner along the water by the Berlin Cathedral for our last meal together in Germany.

Tomorrow we make our way to Czechia for the start of Prague Baseball Week! 🇨🇿

Day 5 🇩🇪

The North boys took on Berlin, amazing race style. 4 teams raced around the city soaking up German culture and numerous significant historical sites. From the Berlin Cathedral and Reichstag Building to the Brandenberg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie - the winning team crushed the finish line in near record time. After the race, we had lunch at the Berlin Hofbrauhaus.

The boys enjoyed some down time in the afternoon before we headed North for our game third game against the Berlin Flamingos.

The weather held off long enough for us to play 6 innings and a valiant effort by both teams allowed us to complete 8 innings after a minor rain delay. After the game, we enjoyed a BBQ with our hosts. It was an awesome day at the park - a great final tune up game before Prague baseball week begins in a few days!

It was a somber and moving day as our tour guide Barbara led us through both the Auschwitz 1 and Birkenau camps. She shared some first hand accounts of what took place in Oswiecim. An educational experience we will never forget.

We headed back to Krakow where the North boys enjoyed some free time. Some played catch while others grabbed lunch in the main square. We then enjoyed a traditional Polish Vodka tasting where our guide Bart taught us all about the history and the cultural significance of the Polish national spirit.

We had a fantastic traditional Polish dinner as a team at Klezmer Hois in the Jewish Quarter to cap off our time in Krakow. Tomorrow morning we head west for our first game day - we’ll take on our friends from the Wroclaw Barons in a double header starting at 1:30pm.

The boys had some time to get settled in before team dinner at Moreski Oko, where we enjoyed some wonderful traditional Polish food and some traditional song and dance. We made our way to Krakow Stare Miasto for a walk in the old town. A great first day together!

Days 10 and 11 in 🇭🇺

After a great night out in the very lively city of Budapest, some R&R was in order for The North. Day 10 of the trip started out with breakfast at the hotel, and a trip to the famous Szechenyi Thermal Baths, where we all enjoyed some time in the pools, hot/cold tubs, and saunas while also enjoying the great weather and amazing architecture of the bathhouse. After a quick lunch and some free time back at the hotel, the boys left for a night full of activities. First off was a trip up to Castle Hill to see Fisherman’s Bastion and the Royal Palace, where we were treated to some stunning views of the city and some amazing buildings. After the sightseeing, we took a trip back down to watch some puck and support our brothers from The North Hockey as they took on a local pro team. Despite coming up short, good times were had by all and those good times continued well into the rest of the night.

Our last day of the trip was all about the baseball, as our North squad had a quick breakfast and set out to play our friends from the Budapest Red Wolves in a double header. Despite a little bit of rain, we were able together two competitive games in, with the North going 1-1 on the day. After the games, we enjoyed the hospitality of the home squad as we grilled out and shared some drinks and stories at the field. Special thanks to and from the Red Wolves for welcoming us in and serving as guides as we explored this special city, which was a fitting stop to conclude an amazing trip!

Day 9 🇸🇰 >>> 🇭🇺

After a night out in Bratislava, some of the boys woke up for an early morning walk up to beautiful Bratislava Castle where they enjoyed the architecture and panoramic views of the city. After a good breakfast, we loaded the bus and got on the road to Budapest with North Hockey, where baseball got to particpate in the first ever North Hockey fantasy draft for the North’s Friday night’s hockey game.

Upon arrival in Budapest, we had a quick team lunch in Gozsdu and started our walking tour of the city. Even in the rain, our tour guide Dora led us on an amazing tour of some of the city’s finest buildings and monuments including St. Stephen’s Basilica and the stunning Parliment building. After the tour and little bit of free time, both teams headed to Koleves for a delicious feast, some drinks and some passionate speeches before a night out on the town at one of Budapest’s famous ruin bars. A great night, with plenty more activities planned for night two in Budapest tomorrow.

Day 8 🇦🇹 to 🇸🇰

The North boys had some free in Vienna before heading to Slovakia, our third country on our tour. A slight delay was no match for the boys as we made up time on the ground and got to Bratislava in plenty of time for our 6th game against BK Apollos.

In what was our best game so far, we battled hard for 9 full innings against our Slovakian hosts. The energy at the field was electric which led into post game meal and beverages with our hosts. Some of the boys kept the party going and hit up the historic old town for a fun night out. Thanks again to the Apollos for hosting us!

Tomorrow we head to Budapest, Hungary for the final 3 days of our baseball adventure! 🇭🇺

The boys took on Vienna - Amazing Race style as we met up with our hockey friends. 8 teams raced around the city soaking up Viennese culture and numerous historic sites. The boys crossed the finish line in near record time.

After lunch at Naschmarkt, the skies opened up so we enjoyed some well needed down time. We enjoyed a delicious, traditional Schnitzel and pommes for dinner and celebrated a Northerner’s birthday. A few beverages at the Wombar set the tone for a great night on the town. Tomorrow we’ll enjoy our last morning in Vienna before leaving for Slovakia’s historic capital, Bratislava. 🇸🇰

Day 6 🇦🇹

We kicked off our last day at Finkstonball bright and early with breakfast before our 9AM game against Sissach. Pitching was great and the bats came alive early. Everyone got involved in a fun team win to end off a great Finkstonball 2022 tournament.

We made our way to Vienna and the North Boys enjoyed lunch at Naschmarkt before we made our way to Schonbrunn Palace for the afternoon. Amazing views of Vienna!

We had a traditional Viennese dinner at Wieden Brau and some of the boys headed out on the town. A great way to cap off a long holiday weekend in Austria

Day 5 🇦🇹

Day 3 of Europe’s best baseball festival! After breakfast we made our way to the field for our ballgame against BBJO. We jumped out to a quick lead on a second inning home run and some clutch 2 out hits. BBJO punched back and
the North boys battled hard but ended up on the losing end of a good ball game.

We enjoyed some free time at the festival watching baseball and softball before heading back to the hotel. We had an amazing team dinner at Kouzina Greco before kicking off nighttime festivities back at the team hotel.

Cheers to the very exclusive Die North Bar and their staff for hosting and taking great care of us. Time to find a new bouncer.

Day 4 🇦🇹

After team breakfast at the hotel, we made our way to the park for our second game at Finkstonball - taking on the 2021 Hungarian champion, Budapest Red Wolves. In what was a fantastic ball game, we came out on top with a walk off win! A great way to start the day with awesome contributions from everyone.

We spent the afternoon at Lake Attersee. The North boys had a blast soaking up some rays, playing spike ball and hanging out by the water slides. And the views were spectacular.

We had a bit of down time before heading back to the park for tournament opening ceremonies and had a great team dinner at nearby RAWS diner. Europe’s biggest baseball festival did not disappoint as we rocked the night away at the open air stage. On Sunday we play our third game of the tournament & spend more time on site at Finkstonball.

Day 3 🇩🇪 ➡️ 🇦🇹

We had an early morning breakfast before making our way to beautiful Berchtesgaden & Hitler’s Eagles Nest. We drove to the top and took a secret elevator to Kehlsteinhaus, Hitler’s WWII hideaway. Some guys had a quick catch and an amazingly clear day provided stunning panoramic views. An experience we won’t soon forget.

We made our way to Attnang after a delicious team lunch and checked into our team hotel before making our way to the field for at first game at Finkstonball, Europe's largest baseball festival. Despite a gritty comeback attempt , we fell short up against the Stuttgart Reds. We were fortunate enough to get our game in right before the skies opened up. We had a quick dinner before heading back to the hotel where we enjoyed a few beverages & some team bonding over some cards and stories. A phenomenal day for the boys.

Saturday we take on the Budapest Red Wolves at 9:30AM.
