Description

Sigfrid Edstrom, director of a Swedish electrical engineering company, "spent time studying in both Switzerland and the United States. There's little doubt that his time in America instilled a deep affection for that country's national pastime because in 1910 he made a serious play for baseball . . . [in] the town of Vasteras, located about 100 kilometers frm Stockholm. Edstrom helped set up a local team in Vasteras and, according to one source, provided rules and equipment for games in the capital of Stockholm."

John Chetwynd, Baseball in Europe (McFarland, 2008), page 144.
