Bhutan newly has baseball thanks to an American entrepreneur who went over there to start a luxury travel company. He started running weekend clinics for kids and everyone became obsessed. Thousands of kids started playing baseball The story blew up thanks to this viral photo and last year a minor league team in the Hudson Valley had a bunch of kids out for a cultural exchange. The kids got to (try) and hit against a machine that mimics the pitches of Shohei Ohtani, the Bhutanese flag flew and their national anthem played during a game https://www.mlb.com/amp/news/renegades-bhutan-night-proof-that-baseball-is-a-global-community.html
