Thanks Nick for taking care of the heavy lifting.
Reader Joe from Sioux City, Iowa alerts us to an article in the Reading Eagle - apparently people are still talkin’ about the UOLB.
International Burnie
Not sure why I checked in on “The ‘unofficial’ Ottawa Lynx Blog” the other day, since the town no longer has a team (the Phillies’ Triple-A club played there last season).
It had to be fate, because what I stumbled upon is classic stuff: A YouTube video of former Reading Phillies favorite Gary Burnham homering for the La New Bears of the Chinese Professional Baseball League in Taiwan.
Just as fun: The postgame interview featuring Burnham, who revealed to a bilingual reporter that the Taiwanese culture has been good for his game.
“The amount of fish that the Taiwanese people eat is a heckuva lot more than I eat in the U.S.,” Burnham said. “It’s also good for you. I can get in better shape, and maybe lose five pounds.”
Thanks for sending it along Joe. In addition to Nick’s breakdown, I’ll try to have an update on one of Sioux City’s finest shortly.
Finally for today, a quick vid of an up and coming closer closer to home.
