Laura Walden and Keir Radnedge of Sports Features Communications wrote an article about the efforts of Sandra Monteiro (President of the Portuguese Baseball Federation) to help Brazilian Baseball.
Excerpt:
Monteiro is reaching out first to the Brazilians to get the development program off the ground then intends to move on to all the other countries in the group, using the Games as the vehicle.
.
Monteiro said: “Both federations have the desire to create a plan under the IBAF or MLB umbrella and thus start a protocol development program for the Portuguese-speaking countries including Africa.
.
“I have been in contact with the Brazilian sports minister and the Brazilian baseball federation and there is a great deal of interest in setting this up. I have even offered to be a link between South America and Europe.”
