Baseball was played in Ghana by American Embassy staff, other Americans then living in Ghana in the eighties at a place called BUDWEISER FIELD now called BRYNN PARK for years.

    Some Ghanaian kids were privileged to play with the Americans there at the BUD FIELD. Among them was Mr. Albert K. Frimpong who had been earlier introduced to Baseball as far back as 1978 in Kinshasa while with his family on a duty tour there. His father the then chargé d’affair/acting ambassador had lots of friends in the American Embassy so he spent lots of time together with the Americans especially during weekend’s that is how he first came into contact with Baseball.

    In 1987 he began playing baseball and in 1988 he decided to make Baseball a Ghanaian sport. Therefore he began going to the National Sports Council to have this done but it was not until 1992 that a Baseball association was formed. Albert was made a senior member of this very first Baseball Association nicknamed GHABSA or (GHANA BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION).

    Ghana currently has eight officially registered senior club teams though a few more clubs have emerged but since they have not officially registered with the baseball secretariat they have not been recognized as such yet, four Softball clubs, and almost twenty Little League Clubs within the Accra ,Tema metropolis . Our senior national team boasts of American, Cuban and Japanese trained players that is why we are a force to recon with on the continent. Due to finance and equipment problems baseball development has been at a snails pace.

    To make sure that Ghana baseball continues to develop properly, the BASEBALL GHANA FOUNDATION was set up in 1997 for the proper development of  the games of baseball  and softball in Ghana as well as help the youth and people involved in the games in Ghana. This help is mainly in the form of sending the very skilled and gifted but poor kids to school, possibly to the university so that apart from baseball they will become good and responsible adults as well as great baseball players with proper education.

foundation (BGF) has in collaboration with its senior partner in Japan AFAB (Association of friends of African baseball) and Hiroshima Toyo Carp a Japanese professional club in Hiroshima Japan.
