On August 19th 1938 , in Halifax , England won the first ever World Amateur Baseball Championship by defeating the USA .
The England team largely comprised players from the West Riding of Yorkshire and from East Lancashire.
The USA team had planned to play in the 1940 Olympics, but for obvious reasons that was postponed.
I consider it highly likely that there would have been at least one England player with Accrington connections.
