The Spanish Division de Honor will kick off its 2009 schedule on March 15. This weekend the preseason starts in Spain. In Catalonia the annual regional championship takes place and opens with the matchup between CB SANT BOI and CB VILADECANS. The third participant the FC BARCELONA has a bye this week. In Navarra the Tournament Apertura begins with games between two squads of CD PAMPLONA and between BASEBALL NAVARRA and SAN INAZIO BILBAO. Both matches will be held at the ballpark in Irabia.
A few days ago we reported that the ballpark of BASEBALL NAVARRA in Burlada was damaged through a flood. The government of Navarra, the city of Burlada and the Baseball Federations in Spain and Navarra agreed this week to rebuild the ballpark as soon as possible and the clubs CD ARGA, BASEBALL NAVARRA and CD PAMPLONA can play in the new ballpark as soon as May or June. Until then the clubs will use different venues in the Pamplona region.
