The New York Times published a fascinating (and sad) article about Little League baseball in Uganda. In short, the team became the first team from Africa to qualify for the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Alas, the team was denied visas into the United States because some players' birth dates were recorded inaccurately. It's a shame Uganda won't be allowed to play. Still, it will be interesting to see if the game continues to grow in Uganda. That's the great thing about baseball: there's always next year.
