My Favorite Taiwanese Pro Basseball Team May come Back....


I told some Taiwanese baseball history before. Go to check it out if you miss out and have some interest to know a little bit. In Taiwan, People love baseball which is the most popular sport not just because of Wang. Japan, Korea, and Taiwan remain the most powerful baseball countries in the Asian. However, gamble scandal keep damaging the foundation of Taiwanese baseball and fan base. My favorite pro baseball team called China Times Eagles Baseball Team dismissed because of that.

Since 1997, Star players who are from my favorite team have been came out to address their mistakes to young players after time or probation. During this ten years, they went back to one high school to teach young players how to play baseball. That high school team is not strong baseball team. Surprisingly, they help them win the second place in a high school tournament recently. Those high school players use their the passion to overcome lack of strong skill ability to beat tons of strong high school teams for that honor.

The photo is their celebration with supporters and their coach staff who are those star players from my favorite team (picture is from Taiwan UDN news). During the celebration, reporters speculate China Times Eagles Baseball Team may come back which will be a good news to me. Even though they all say it's premature for that but they will keep supporting and helping young players and enjoy playing baseball with right mind-set. Great News!!

Playing hard with passion is the most important thing for me when I watch baseball games. Yankees certainly can use that for 27th championship.

Admirable Courage

Andy is the man.I knew he will do this.Human beings make mistakes.One of Quotes from Wang which I like the most says"No one is perfect"It's not easy for people to admit their mistakes,especially you have to confess to a lot of people.Of course,I am disappointed at Andy's wrong behavior,but I am still his fan because of his admirable courage.I believe what he said.The same situation happened to Taiwan gamble scandal as well.Only victim of whole event is players,not owners and gangsters.Players got caught and destoryed their whole career and then they came out for apologies for their wrong behavior.Gangsters got nothing because they told police officers the list.Owners came out to say nothing and did nothing to improve players' life.

Do right things,not fancy things.Stop being politicians

Well,obviously,Mitchell Report becomes the hottest topic this off-season.Are you one of them curious to know who is in this report?Do you feel frustrated at your favorite player on this list?Do you think no one is clear in this steroid area after this report?Me?How do I feel?I want to share two stories to you guys....

I was working at TV station and production company in Taiwan for 5 years.Making films or TV programs to audiences they like is my dream.I will keep going after this dream for my whole life.If I make it successfully,I want to improve film industry and sport environment in Taiwan.My mom doesn't like my job at all.I always have to work for ridiculous long hours without getting paid well.The most important thing for her is working environment at TV station and production company which is very complicated and is easy for people to get lost.You always have to have extremely great relationship with supervisors in order to get promotion.There are many people willing to do whatever they can in order to please supervisors,boss,clients and everyone.Tons of my coworkers have complicated relationship,endless night life,and bad habits,such as smoking,gambling,drinking and drug using.That's why she doesn't like it at all.Me???I still have to work that ridiculous long hours,but I don't have the rest of problems.Why I didn't get involved in all kinds of bad habits?That's easy.I keep my life simple and never join them.It just takes me much longer to get promotion.I show my mom I am still his little girl and nothing change.That's why she let me keep doing that.

If you are loyal readers for my blog,you probably know this story.I think I mention this story on my opening post.I am big baseball fan since I was a child.My favorite Taiwanese pro baseball team got caught by gamble scandal ten years ago.This team is no longer existed.A lot of players on that team got different sentences for that,including my favorite player.I was so frustrated at this event and felt betrayed by them.During the whole investigation,the government and police officers claimed to put their most efforts to clean this up.That was their purpose for this whole investigation.All they did is to catch players as many as they can.They didn't catch gangsters who try to control the outcome of game.Owners and government didn't do their best to improve baseball environment and players' life.Ten years later,we have another mini gamble scandal again in Taiwan and another pro baseball team may be disappear because of financial problem.Whose is fault?Government keep ignoring their responsibility to improve baseball environment and Owners only care their profits and control players as much as they can.They blame fans doesn't care Taiwanese pro baseball.

About me and this blog

You don't have to read this post if you don't want.You can read next one directly.Just in case,if you guys want to know about me.

I am planning to blog for a long time.I didn't do it until now for whatever reason.

Finally,I decide to do it when my New York Yankees team is in the last place of American League and a lot of people believe Yankees won't recover to catch Red Hot Red Sox.

First of All,I am a Taiwanese and study film in California,USA for couple of years.I can speak Mandarin,Taiwanese,Cantonese and English.So,as you guys understand,English is not my first Language.Hopefully,everyone can stand my poor English and help me correct my mistakes.

I am a big sport fan since I was a kid,especailly for baseball.The reason of baseball game is so attractive for me is teamwork."All for one;One for All".Baseball team can't get a championship without everyone's effort.

I did a lot of crazy things about baseball.Before becoming a yankees fan few years ago when I study film in the United States,I was rooting crazily for one of my Taiwanese pro baseball team.This Taiwanese pro baseball team is not a good team.They have good hitting but terrible pitching staff.Even though they lost a lot of games,I was still rooting crazily for them.Finally,they got into playoff one year.I am so happy for that,but Policemen in Taiwan found out most players on this team cheating.Players took money from people involved in gamble.After that,I stop watching baseball game for a long time until I become a yankees fan.

All I care about my team(New York Yankees) is passion and fighting.

I don't know what will happen from now to the end of 2007 season.Yankees may or may not make the playoff this season.So what? I hope they get healthier and no body get hurt again.They are fighting now and I am enjoy watching those ball games.

I decide to share my though with a lot of yankees fans.That is why I open this blog.
