Are you Ready for some Baseball? - Piers Diesel Reporting...



Sports of all kinds in Second Life have been around for some time like hockey, football, soccer, racing, golf, sailing, wrestling as well as the all American Pastime Baseball!

Major League Baseball Season begins on March 22 and runs until the end of September.  If you love Baseball in real life and would like to take part in some within Second Life then there are ways to show your love of the game or even be part of a virtual sports team.

Here are a few locations and groups which will enable you to explore baseball in SL as well as dress the part and get actively involved.
