The Ministry of Baseball

Presentimg to you the WBC 2026 Fill-in-yourself Tournament Tree Poster. You can print at home for FREE. Put it up in the office, classroom or just around the house. The choice is yours!

It's scaled to A3 so can be printed on most workplace printers, or as two A4 sheets. A bit of world cup nostalgia, baseball-ified.

A new year means more to look forward to!

Happy New Year! As we welcome in the new year, we thought it'd be nice to look back at some of the Ministry's favourite images from across the British Baseball landscape over the past 12 months!

Myself (), JK () and Ministry photographer , some of whose images feature here, would like to thank everyone who engaged with our content this year, be that liking and sharing our posts, reading our articles or simply acknowledging our existence. Thank you!

Happy Hannukah to all those who celebrate!

It is only the fifth time since 1900 that the first night of Hannukah has fallen on Christmas day, and to celebrate we've compiled a list of the best Jewish major leaguers by WAR (and an appearance by a WBC icon)!

Merry Christmas from everyone at the Ministry of Baseball! To help get in the festive spirit, we've collected the best players to share a birthday with the reason for the season himself!

The holiday season is upon us!

To celebrate, we've introduced 3 new festive designs to our Redbubble store! (Remember, all proceeds go towards helping the British baseball community!)
