“We envision a day when baseball is popular in Europe. This is our vision. The first and most important step we can work towards to achieve this vision is to double the number of people playing baseball regularly and in teams by 2021. This equates to 250,000 players. To reach this target, we need to have a baseball community made up of more than 10,000 umpires (including 500 top ones), 20,000 coaches (including 1,000 top ones), 2,500 fields with permanent backstops and mounds and enough scorers. This means that we need to move from approximately 6,000 teams to 12,500” – CEB President Jan Esselman
