The music certainly sets a serious tone. It sounds like a Monty Python skit...

@dunebasher1971 There are no other teams, so it's not so much a "final" as the only game! It's still being played to this day, especially in south Wales and Merseyside, and the international match still occurs in Newport every other year.

No, we've had baseball a lot longer. It's mentioned in Jane Austen.

@northernhecklet It's completely for real. This was broadcast on BBC-1 Wales at 8.10pm, Tuesday 15th July 1980. It was clearly considered to be of interest only to Welsh viewers though, because it wasn't shown in any other regions. BBC-1 Wales showed International Baseball on four more occasions - August 1982, July 1983, July 1984 and July 1986. Presumably Wales fielded a good enough international baseball team to reach the final in each of those years.

Definitely real. I remember a similar international taking place at Roath Park Rec in Cardiff in the early/mid 80s. We played this type of baseball at school (we never played Rounders), and there were lots of amateur clubs and leagues in Cardiff. I heard that it was only south Wales and the Liverpool area that played this type.

Surely this is a fake - we were playing Softball at the school I went to (in England) in the early 70's using proper bats and catchers mitts. This just looks weird

This is probably close to what American baseball looked like in its nascent stages. Very interesting to see.

@southparkfan2717 Apart from the flat bat it's nothing like cricket.

I guess this is what you get when you have cricket players play baseball (with cricket gear).
