World Children's Baseball Fair Home Page

The World Children's Baseball Fair, a non-profit organisation, was founded in 1989 by World Home Run Kings Sadaharu Oh and Hank Aaron, along with Dr Akiko Agishi (North America Founding Director).  Their mission:  "to share the dream of friendship and team work with the children of the world and to sow the seeds of that dream through our international baseball fair".  The WCBF provides the tools and encouragement for children to grow and become citizens of the world and build international bridges that connect and unite us all through our common love of Baseball.

With its first ever event staged in 1990 in Los Angeles at UCLA and Jackie Robinson Stadium, 2010 will highlight the 20th Anniversary of the Summer Event.  Over the years they have established an alumni of 4,300 plus of which will continue to grow through the years to come.
