Kudos to Michael Clair of MLB for this heartwarming story about finding the joy of baseball in even the most remote of locations. Add in those spectacular photographs from Matthew DeSantis, and this is easily my favorite news story of the week.

Sometimes known as the world’s last Shangri-La, this nation of snowy alpine peaks and untouched mountain streams has fewer than 700,000 people who call it home. And yet perhaps the most remote country in the world is on its way to being a baseballing nation, growing from a few dozen kids playing on a concrete slab after school to more than 6,000 children who are fast becoming baseball fanatics despite few having ever seen a Major League game.
