| Description | "Towards the end of World War II, Sweden, which was a neutral, decided to buy fifty P-51 Mustang aircraft, to re-equip its air force. These were flown to Sweden by American pilots, and American pilots had to instruct Swedes n handling these planes. During this contact, they also taught baseball to the Swedes. "Arising out of this interest, a club was formed in Stockholm in 1949." Note: Clubs in Sweden had formed in 1910, but "a long period followed during which the game probably died out, and it appears to have been reintroduced in 1945."
