Theodore the turtle was excited to learn about a big baseball tournament that happened in Europe. It was called the 2019 European Baseball Championship and took place in Germany.

Twelve teams from different countries in Europe competed to see who was the best at baseball. The games were played in two cities - Bonn and Solingen.

Theodore found out that the Netherlands team won the championship. They beat Italy in the final game. Spain came in third place after beating Israel.

The tournament was important because the top five teams got to try to qualify for the Olympics. Theodore thought it was neat that baseball players could go to the Olympics!

He learned that a player named Ademar Rifaela from the Netherlands team did really well. Ademar hit the most home runs and helped his team score a lot.

Theodore was fascinated to discover that countries all over Europe played baseball. He never knew turtles or humans in places like Germany, Italy and Israel enjoyed America's pastime too!

Even though he couldn't swing a bat himself, Theodore decided he wanted to watch more baseball games. He liked learning about how teams from different places competed together in a fun tournament.
