Abstract
Broadcast Transcript: Baseball is called bang qiu here in China. And, if a recent exploration trip taken by New York Yankee bigwigs is any indication, it looks as if China might be the next major outsource for major league outfielders. Not right away, of course. To date, China hasn't produced any players good enough to be in the show or even in the farm leagues. I mean, who can forget China's excruciating three game combined score 40-6 loss in the World Baseball Classic? But soon, perhaps, with training and focus, China could supply world class players the way the Dominican Republic and Venezuela do now. Meanwhile, the Yankee execs will sell Yankee merchandise--most of which was probably made in China to begin with! #ceas #china #hacker #tsutsui
