Yes, there is a place called Splott

'Halo makes light of a welshman blogging about baseball, but Mr. Chris Webster, honorary secretary of the Welsh Baseball Union ("WBU"), would remind us that baseball has an esteemed history in Wales and still gathers modest interest, especially in Cardiff and Newport. The WBU now runs a three-division league and the sport is highlighted by an annual international between Wales and England.

Granted, the game is played quite differently than we do in the States, but it would help us to remember the debt we owe to those who played the game before us. Start here and let the journey begin.
