Our man in Taiwan

Posted by Carl on July 25, 2008

Thanks to FOTL, Hansioux for the frequent Gary Burnham updates.  In case you’ve missed it, Hansioux recently added this comment:

… anyway, off topic but i am here to share Gary Burnham news as usual. Gary after the second stay in the Taiwan minors is doing great in the La New Bears lineup. He hit his 6th homerun, and had 5RBI in 2 games.

La New Bears actually got a new position player from the US, Brent Matheny, who is a single A player. I hope the managers come to their right minds and keep Gary.

Finally, Gary was at the Taiwan All Star game. He was there for the homerun derby, but he picked Mike Johnson to feed him the pitches, who happened to be the league’s leader in wins. So Gary didn’t make it to the final round.

Though here is a funny clip about Gary pre-All star game. He showed off his Mandarin skills. And he speaks it very well.

Hansioux, Gary Burnham news is never “off topic” around here.  Roll tape.

(I should have a mandarin translation later tomorrow.)
