Honkbal is the Dutch word for baseball, and you’ll get plenty of it on our trip to the Netherlands to watch the annual Honkbalweek Haarlem (Haarlem Baseball Week).
Haarlem Baseball Week celebrates its 30th year in 2022 and will be the best one yet, featuring six stacked teams in a new format. National teams from Holland, USA, Cuba, Japan, Curaçao, and Italy will play three games per day during round-robin play, leading to a climactic championship on July 15. Games will be played at historic Pim Mulier Stadium in Haarlem, home to not just the local professional team (Kinheim Haarlem), but also the Dutch Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
