YISL League History

The Rangoon International Softball League has existed at least since the early 1960′s. At that time there were six men’s teams in the league, including a Japanese team, a Teen team, an American Embassy team, a US military equipment detachment team (MEDT), etc. Games were played at a field at St. John’s School.

    I too played in that game. My primary contribution was to hit a foul ball that broke a window in the car belonging to Ambassador Byroade.

    The league itself played games at a football field (soccer pitch) on Prome Road and another at the English Methodist school.
