OT: Wall Street Journal: Foreign Talent Loads the Bases
An article on one of the most diverse teams in the minors, the Boise Hawks in the Northwest League. It focuses on Hak Ju Lee, an 18-year-old Cubs prospect from South Korea. The article includes a video and a photo slideshow. Pretty cool stuff.

That, and the dude from the Canary Islands! I came across him researching one of my Cal League notebooks. I love this stuff and I’m gonna push my global studies profs hard to let me incorporate baseball as a global game into my studies.

‘Boss’ Tipene Moanaroa, sounds like if he doesn’t make it in baseball he can always run his own mafia family
