(AP) KAMPALA, Uganda - Unlike in most of Africa, soccer is not the top sport at the Rev. John Foundation School in Uganda's capital. Instead, a fairly foreign American game is No. 1 and catching on quickly.
"Baseball is our main game here," head teacher Emmanuel Bazannye said of his school. "Even the girls love it. The girls want to participate after seeing the boys doing it. We say that what the boys can do, even the girls can do."
Baseball is not widely played in Africa, but Uganda looks poised to be the launching pad for the game's entry
