http://exportingbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/05/ibaf.html
Saturday, May 17, 2008. Do you know that there is an International Baseball Federation? Well I know in the past I have heard of the IBAF, but I never really committed their name to memory, and the IBAF wants to change that. The IBAF on their website. Going back to the Olympics, the eight countries that qualified (Canada, China, Chinese Taipei, Cuba, Japan, Korea, Netherlands and the United States) were all in the World Baseball Classing in 2006. The IBF talks about how events like the WBC will be ver...

http://exportingbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/05/more-baseball-comics.html
Saturday, May 17, 2008. Baseball has infused itself withing Japanese Culture, and one of the best examples is through Manga. Manga, a very popular Japanese style of art, is read by many people throughout the world. If you have never seen it, its basically like reading a comic book. Anyway there is a series in Japan that is about baseball. The Series is called Major. And it follows a young boy, Goro Honda, and his fa. Major has also been adopted as a TV. Show as well which follows the same plot line.

The International Pastime: Exporting America's Game: Baseball Academies in the Dominican Republic
http://exportingbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/05/baseball-academies-in-dominican.html
Tuesday, May 20, 2008. Baseball Academies in the Dominican Republic. The baseball academies in the Dominican Republic provide opportunities for Dominicans to escape poverty and chase the famous rags to riches stories of stars like Tejada (the picture above is of one of these academies) These places of amazing opportunity, where good equipment is provided, where formal training can be found, hide a deep, dark story for those players that don’t make the cut.

The International Pastime: Exporting America's Game: Learn To Play Baseball in the Domincan Republic
http://exportingbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/05/learn-to-play-baseball-in-domincan.html
Saturday, May 17, 2008. Learn To Play Baseball in the Domincan Republic. I was doing research about the Dominican Baseball Academies where many MLB prospects come from, and I came across a site that took me completely by surprise:. Have you ever been to Jamaica, or know someone who has been to Jamaica on a cruise? Overall, I am very skeptical about this program, but if they made more culture based and try to portray an unbiased view of the country, this program could have a lot of potential. If you w...

The International Pastime: Exporting America's Game: Baseball In China
http://exportingbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/05/baseball-in-china.html
Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Major League Baseball made a big deal earlier this year about the Dodgers and Padres playing in China. It was a big deal. The Dodgers and the Padres were the first Major League teams to play. A game in China. Gary Thorne described this big deal back on March 11. When he talked about how the NBA is the only American professional league in China that is popular. For many reasons, Major League baseball wants to change that. What will we see here in the states? I also have a page abo...

Tuesday, May 20, 2008. When Was the Last Time You Have Seen This. If you live in Boston, Chicago, or New York, people on their feat, chanting and cheering at a baseball game is nothing new to you.

The International Pastime: Exporting America's Game: April 2008
http://exportingbaseball.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 23, 2008. Swinging Really Late about Basbeall in Israel. The past few days have been a whirlwind of information about Israeli Baseball for me and I am just starting to get a grip on the story. When I posted the video before, the information I had on the IBL came from their website. I thought it was a little strange that their last update was on February 20th, but I really didn’t think anything of it. Luckily, Sam Peters of Tabloidbaby. Promotion among native Israelis. They were. I found ...

The International Pastime: Exporting America's Game: A Different IBL
http://exportingbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/05/over-years-that-i-have-studied-baseball.html
Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Over the years that I have studied baseball, I have never taken a close look at an amateur league. All the leagues I have looked at, in some way, classify themselves as a professional baseball team. I have heard a lot about another IBL over the past few days from Baseball in Israel. And its history is pretty interesting. Is the Intercounty Baseball League. The story of Josh Matlow, that was posted by Baseball in Israel. Why do I like amateur leagues? The Canadian Baseball League.

The International Pastime: Exporting America's Game: The Canadian Baseball League
http://exportingbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/05/canadian-baseball-league.html
Tuesday, May 20, 2008. The Canadian Baseball League. Hopefully by now the word is starting to spread about the folding of the IBL before its second season. This got me thinking about other failed baseball leagues. Do you remeber the Canadian Baseball League? Chances are you probably do not as the league. Did not last its entire inaugural season in 2003. What does this mean? What should have been looked at before this league existed was how baseball was existing in Canada. It was already there, some t...
