DAY 244 (737/819) on THE ROAD TO THE 2027 4th WBSC PREMIER12/16 and 185 YEARS OF BASEBALL - Our Gratitude to all our Collegiate Teams

Congratulations to our All-MLB Team! And congrats to the Cosmic Baseball Takeover Tour for expanding its reach to MLB stadiums in future seasons.

Today we wish to extend our greetings to all the rest of the international and US-Canadian collegiate teams, varsity and club alike. They, no matter where they are in the world, are the vanguard of the next generation of baseball players that the fans look forward to see.

This year in collegiate ball has been once beyond expectations. In the countries wherein the sport has a great presence the collegiate scene has produced many great moments off an on the field, together with the great fan atmosphere, campus culture and the many stars it has produced and many of today's players eager to follow in the footsteps of past legends and current star athletes. Once more it has shown its resolute determination to continue onwards to be the leading vanguard of the sport's next generation and as part of the wider sport in general.

For Glory

John
