On an exceptionnaly warm and sunny day in Brussels, Manneken-Pis' 876th costume was officially unveiled: a National Team Uniform of the Royal Belgian Baseball & Softball Federation.
After an official ceremony at City Hall, a fairly large crowd paraded on the Grand Place and walked to Manneken Pis behind the Meyboom Fanfare. Preceeded by a collective singalong of Take me out to the ballgame, the costume was finally unveiled as Manneken Pis burst out with some 6-7 meters splashes to salute the crowd.
In the framework of the 75th annniversary of KBBSF-FRBBS, the costume donation is also symbolic of the Federation's aim to target youth development through its brand new promotional campaign titled Play-ball.be !
