Grandslam in Cambodia

The Sweetness of Baseball

So...., you think it easy to starting baseball in Cambodia, uh? Well, you can said so. But the kids had never actually seen it happen until 2002.

For years, people thought Cambodians can't play baseball, because Cambodians are much short, light and slower then other nationally.

To me, I think Cambodians has great arm, leg and the whole parts of the body just like the rest of the people in this world.

Most of the people said Cambodia is not a country to have baseball, because it's an undevelopment and poorest country in Southeast Asia.

To me, Cambodia is a perfect country to have baseball. Everywhere you looks, it's has a beautiful land scape with tons of coconut trees, rice fields and the people are absolutely amazing. Talking about the weather, it's fabulous and mostly sunny with 80s degree year round and that's baseball heaven.

I truely believed that Cambodian can play baseball and within the next 3 to 5 years, they might be able to play at the Major League level and that what in every kid dreamt.

They're struggled to play baseball for the first 3 years, but these kids are catching up quick with the helps of MLB International Envoy Program and other coaches from the states.

Sometime this May of 2006, Baseball Federation of Asia, International Baseball Federation, Korean Baseball Association and Japanese Baseball Association will also stepping up to be apart of the baseball supporter to Cambodia. But don't let that surprises you, Little League International and Asia-Pacific Little League International will be participate with the baseball operation in Cambodia by summer as well.
