Film: Dream Chaser, a story of Chinese baseball


Baseball does not yet have wide appeal in China.  In a country with a population four times that of the US, it has only six teams in its nascent professional league.  If you were a young man in China with a love of baseball, the choice between university and sport might be a difficult one to make.

The subtitles in the first few minutes are cut off a bit at bottom but still readable.

Enjoy.

I'm not sure how to embed media from Chinese websites, so here's the easy solution---follow the link:  http://sports.le.com/news/963125019.html

Interview with MLB Advanced Media

No, not a job interview.  Actually, I am planning on moving and have been doing job interviews, which is why I haven't posted much here of late, but I'm a teacher, not a market researcher or analyst.  That's who I seemed to be speaking with yesterday.  The interview was led by a young white man by the name of Scott, and was observed by five other men whom I never met, heard from, or saw.  Only their names appeared in the video-chat software as logged-in to our group (which is why I assume they were men -- they all had typically male names).  The interview was scheduled for thirty minutes and lasted twenty-five.

Why did they want to speak with me?
