Welcome to the forum! It's great to see that baseball is alive and kicking in Europe! After reading your post, I looked up baseball in France, and I found a website for an organization that's arranging a baseball trip in France, geared towards American 40-somethings, in June of next year. With a newborn on the way, I'm not sure that I'd be able to make it, but had I heard about this back in my bachelor days, I'd have jumped at the chance! If anybody's interested, here's the link:

And if you ever want to arrange a trade for a Hawks cap for a Chicago Cubs (the future 2008 World Series Champs) cap, please let me know!

My GPT-5: http://maurebaseball.free.fr/GPT-5/

I bought this glove in 1991. I've make it fixed last week by a pro of leather who is use to deal with horses gear.
