MLB in Uganda

Jambo!  I am in Kampala this week and came across this in the local paper.

- Baseball coaching experts Pat Doyle and Tom Gillespie have recommended to the Major Baseball League headquarters that Uganda has what it takes to host June’s Middle East/Africa junior Baseball championships. Doyle and Gillespie were in Uganda to conduct a two-week clinic that climaxed last weekend at the Nakirebe complex. Over 80 participants from Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Southern Sudan and hosts Uganda qualified as baseball coaches and umpires.

I remember an episode of "The Benny Hill Show" where Mr Hill was impersonating Idi Amin, sitting at a desk and yelling orders into a telephone. On the desk was a sign that read "ME TARZAN, UGANDA" and an in/out box that read "AMIN" and "AMOUT".

That's all.

Another example of how Bush's policies of teaching "abstinence-only" to baseball clinics is failing.

Were they having 'Ugandan discussions'?
