Baseball in China!!!! The boys were invited to practice with the Shenzhen University baseball team. The University has no scholarships and most players started with limited baseball experience. Finding places to practice and teams to play is another challenge. They practice on the soccer field at the University and at Tongle Middle School where a serious middle school baseball team is being developed.
Coach Yu (red shirt)coaches Shenzhen University and Tongle Middle school. In the 80's he was drafted by the Yankee's farm club team in the USA. He came back to China and played for the Chinese National Team. He has coached several current chinese national players. He doesn't speak much english so sign langauge was needed.
Luckily several of the Shenzhen University players spoke english and were able to translate for the boys. The boys enjoyed practicing but were quite shocked on arrival to see the coach smoking on the field. It is interesting to see so many people puffing away in China. Especially people in sports and health careers. (Doctors)
