Sounds like baseball is set up to succeed in Bahamas. It now has a star in jazz Chisholm, a real legitimate stadium, and is accessible for youth athletes. I know there’s lots of competition, but still
Things sound reasonably positive for baseball in the Bahamas. I didn't catch any mention however of any of the handful of players who made it to the bigs or even minors, coming back to the Bahamas after their careers were over to promote the sport or assist with player development. I would think this would go a long way in furthering the growth and increasing the popularity of baseball.
By 1920, it is apparent based on several pieces published by the tourism development board, that Cricket and Football(Soccer) was in decline, while Baseball and Rugby were clearly more prominent. Local players had already attained a preference for Baseball for competition over Cricket. Since that time, it has continued to grow to this present day. Baseball has a 145 year history in The Bahamas.
Either before or by 1894. There were games played between teams formed from Grants Town. Which is a Black community. The teams that played in 1894, were Victoria vs Wild Eagles. This is probably the first local vs local game of Baseball in The Bahamas.

The first baseball game was played in the 1800s in The Bahamas. If memory serves me right it was in the 1870s.
Odd, considering the first baseball game was played in 1846 in the States
OMg im in that😁
Other island/warm weather places to do Baseball In videos: Jamaica. American Samoa, where there are a lot of football players but baseball?

I don't think Chisholm is the star they're looking for but they'll get one soon
This didn’t age well
He's off to one hell of a start.
What a message.
