Pesis to Sri Lanka
I have for a while thought about one crazy idea: taking Finnish baseball (Pesäpallo or Pesis) to Sri Lanka as a means for teambuilding of the customers of Wild Drift, another company that my boss in Unleash Talent Inc owns partly. Now I did it: I contacted Berner Sport, an enterprise that is marketing Karhu pesis equipment, and enquired preliminarily about the possibility of doing cooperation with them. If they think it's a good idea I'll talk to my boss about it. Who knows, maybe the national game of Finland becomes a huge hit in the land that is so frenetic about cricket!Here's some background for those who are completely unaware of what is this sports I'm talking about: Pesäpallo (literally "Baseball" in Finnish) was a game invented by Tahko Pihkala 80 years ago, who thought the American version wasn't good enough. Originated in Finland, it's now played at least in Estonia, Lithuania, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Great Britain, New Zealand and Japan. The Kiwis (New Zealanders) have translated the game to Pallonz. This is how they describe the game: "Pallonz is the New Zealand version of Pesapallo which is game which although similar to both baseball and softball brings more thinking more cunning and more concentration to the game than any other sport. It has the skill of cricket and the tactics of American Football."
