They won't take it seriously, which is good for international baseball.<BR/><BR/>Between the Dutch, the Venezuelans, and the Australians, they've all shown the game isn't just American any more.<BR/><BR/>I'm all for that.Ron Rollinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16852012772573977515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4371059686879339365.post-30817637548118898092009-03-18T02:01:00.000+00:002009-03-18T02:01:00.000+00:00He or she that loveth baseball, will find a way to...He or she that loveth baseball, will find a way to playeth. <BR/><BR/>Watch the World Baseball Classic of 2009. I particularly like the <A HREF="http://www.sameu.com/pr-march2009.html" REL="nofollow">video</A> IBAF release about the series. Notice how through the tournament one country has a problem with boosting morale into their players and playing the game at the highest level. USA. Why? USA has commercialized the sport through the media to the point where players loose sight of the true purpose of the game; to have fun and to have alternative options and stay off the streets. Many comments have been right here. The politics, the economy as a struggle, and America's passion for physical activity. But baseball will never cease. Baseball will live for ever as long as a stick and a round object (preferably bouncy) exists.<BR/><BR/>Seth Hawkins<BR/>SAMEU<BR/><A HREF="http://www.sameu.com" REL="nofollow">www.sameu.com</A>Dominican Commercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01439088144304748214noreply@blogger.com
