Baseball is a thrilling sport and MLB helps to globalize its appeal. Lucrative contracts offered by financially sturdy franchises can transform anyone into a royalty overnight. But not everyone gets lured by the mere monetary brawn, and for most, it’s mainly about passion. So, a baseball aspirant from as far as Uganda has recently caught the attention of MLB fans online.
Even though MLB is predominantly an American league, many foreign players have established legendary reputations over the years. Kasumba Dennis seemingly shares similar dreams. Dennis is a baseball lover from Uganda, who has gradually gained much popularity over the internet. He is primarily a catcher, who can also cover defenses at third base and outfield by his own admission.
