Sign this petition to bring a new baseball/softball field to Istanbul!

In an effort to create a greater sense of community and sporting diversity within Istanbul, some yabangees and locals have sought to open a baseball/softball field in the new sahil area of Maltepe. After speaking with the Maltepe Belediyesi, it seems that a petition is the way forward in this pursuit.

The petition can be found here and takes just a few seconds to sign.

From the organizer:

This petition is for the creation of a baseball field on the Maltepe Sahil. Baseball and softball are great community sports that helps children learn teamwork, patience and responsibility. It’s also a sport that works on physical skills such as hand eye coordination and body strength. The field can be used for T-Ball, Little League, softball (children and adults) and kickball (children and adults). Workplaces can create teams and compete on the field as well. Overall it would be a great asset to the community and one that is missing here in Istanbul. Please sign this petition so we can submit it to the appropriate authorities and get the ball rolling 🙂
