Mark, I heard Miguel Cabrera is not going. Something about a sore shoulder. Sore?
Cool. Was also hoping that MLB Network might pick up the AFL rising stars and championship games again but haven't turned up anything on that for this year.
Wish they would televise AFL.
just when I promised my wife that there would be no more baseball until next spring!
and Screech, too!
This is a good exposure for Taiwan's baseball. I heard that the Chinese Taipei baseball games attracts tourists. I am an avid baseball fan and I'll be sure to book a game next year when I visit Taiwan.
