The McHenry County Youth Sports Association is spreading farther across the world.

Jack Sebesta tells me

the “Summer International Championships have 17 international teams coming in from Japan, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Canada, Brazil, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Panama.

“This is the first time ever that Sri Lanka and New Zealand have sent youth baseball teams to the US.

“The very first (and only) baseball organization in Vietnam contacted us two days ago about coming in 2010.”
