ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:
Has my blog helped in any way? Helped find something•brought more EASE? More exposure or business?
I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!

BASEBALL • SOFTBALL • BEISBOL • SOFTBOL GAME•LEAGUES•TEAMS • BATTING CAGES in Costa Rica



Unlike their neighboring countries of Panama and Nicaragua - Baseball - let alone Softball is SOOOO NOT popular in Costa Rica (which I think is ironic considering the exclusive supplier of baseball BALLS for Major League Baseball for over a quarter-century is Rawlings - and they are MADE IN COSTA RICA [Turrialba]!! -
SOURCE:  ThinkBluela.com/index.php/2012/10/17/rawlings-puts-the-ball-in-baseball)

It is slowly picking up and as I hear of teams•games - especially non-committal pick up type games, I'll share them here.


Hey - do you REALLY MISS the sport but perhaps aren't up to playing these days (no longer a Spring Chicken?)??  Why not help coach or teach some kids in your neighborhood???!!  Since baseball•softball are a fairly new phenomenon in Costa Rica, chances are REAL GOOD that you know LOTS more than they do!!  And do you know any baseball•softball teams back home???  How about writing them to have them do a drive to collect their old cleats, uniforms, gloves, bats, hats, whatever!!!!
