Baseball a hit in Guangzhou

The United States' "national pastime" is played by few people in China, even in first-tier cities such as Guangzhou.

Some expats in this southern city, however, have been trying to make themselves feel more at home by organizing children's baseball leagues.

This year's season ended with about 250 expat kids turning up at the Tianhe sports complex baseball park earlier in June for an all-star game and summer BBQ.
