For those interested in international baseball tournaments, Haarlem Baseball Week is currently taking place in the Netherlands. Seems like they actually have a live feed for the games.

If you click in right now, you can catch Japan playing the Netherlands.

The feed is in Dutch and the background audio appears to be from some radio station. Interestingly enough, the feed switches back and forth from music to what appears to be commentary on the game.
