This year\u2019s baseball and softball trips took us through some of Europe\u2019s most iconic cities, including North favorites like Venice, Prague, Budapest, and Munich, plus some awesome new stops like Milan and Brno. The whole experience was all about competing, connecting, and making memories with our ever-growing North baseball and softball crew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-6 mt-3 lg:mb-8 md:text-lg lg:text-lg text-black\">\n<p class=\"mb-6 mt-3 lg:mb-8 md:text-lg lg:text-lg text-black\">We hit the field for some serious action, playing in tournaments like Finkstonball in Austria and the Bravo Cup in Zagreb, plus showdowns against top-tier teams like the Austrian Softball U22 National Team. But the trip wasn\u2019t just about the games &#8211; it was about the vibe. After the final outs, we were hanging out, grabbing food and drinks, playing pick-up soccer, ping-pong, and just enjoying each other\u2019s company. Everyone had the chance to learn more about what it\u2019s like to play ball in Europe, swap stories, and connect over the sport we all love.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-full h-auto mb-5\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/criv2s5m\/production\/c45f1092fab8dae8b7fbf147b310c81b5ac48dac-2048x1418.jpg?w=800&amp;fit=max&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"blog\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-6 mt-3 lg:mb-8 md:text-lg lg:text-lg text-black\">Off the field? Just as wild (in the best way). We caught a soccer game at Milan\u2019s legendary San Siro Stadium, went rafting in the stunning town of \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov, explored Budapest\u2019s famous ruin bars, and rowed across the insane emerald waters of Lake Bled. Our signature Amazing Races turned exploring cities like Prague and Venice into competitive, laugh-filled adventures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-6 mt-3 lg:mb-8 md:text-lg lg:text-lg text-black\">More than anything though, these trips are about the friendships that come out of it. Whether it was playing in incredible stadiums or getting lost (literally) in the streets of Europe together, everyone walked away with stories they\u2019ll tell forever, and bonds that go way beyond the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-6 mt-3 lg:mb-8 md:text-lg lg:text-lg text-black\">Long story short: this summer was a massive win. We\u2019re already counting down the days \u2018til next year\u2019s adventures.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-full h-auto mb-5\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/criv2s5m\/production\/cf072bdc179915b644df11e40beb90f3633583db-2016x1512.jpg?w=800&amp;fit=max&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"blog\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the summer is winding down, we reflect on this year&#8217;s baseball and softball adventures and what makes them such a smashing success.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1520,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thenorthtravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thenorthtravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thenorthtravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thenorthtravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thenorthtravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1519"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.thenorthtravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1519\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2497,"href":"https:\/\/www.thenorthtravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1519\/revisions\/2497"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thenorthtravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thenorthtravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thenorthtravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thenorthtravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
