The Royal Dutch Baseball and Softball Association (KNBSB) sent out a press release on Friday afternoon stating that KNBSB President Bob Bergkamp will step down in early December. In the statement he indicates that his heavy workload as alderman for the city council of Breda leads to the end of his presidency. On December 3 he will chair his last KNBSB board meeting. Current Vice President Frits Mulder will temporarily take over as acting president.
