Welcome to the Dutch Baseball Hangout.
On the world wide web, I am known as Yankeebiscuitfan, a diehard baseball fan from the Netherlands. I used to be an avid Yankee fan, but since MLB and its owners decided to cut 42 MiLB teams out of pure greed, refused to punish the Cheatros’ players, and kept fighting with the players about who should pay for the losses of the Corona-shortened season, I turned my back on that vile organization.
In August 2014, this blog started as Yankeebiscuitfan’s Dutch Blog, but that name was not really baseball related, so as a result I changed the name into Dutch Baseball Hangout, in May 2016.
Through the years the subject of this blog has changed slowly. It started as a promotion for Dutch baseball. But Dutch baseball has changed a lot, not for the good. As a result, my attention shifted to baseball across the border. Nowadays, I enjoy attending games in Belgium and Germany, even though the level over there is (still) lower. Especially in Germany, the atmosphere during games is much better.
I have played baseball for ten years. I was forced to stop playing because of a shoulder injury. Writing about baseball gives me a lot of joy as it is the best thing next to playing the game.
Enjoy your stay on this blog.
P.S. Everything that I write on this blog is on a personal note and does not represent the opinion of the KNBSB, MLB, MiLB, or others that I am writing about.
