baseball


sorry to all those good baseball players out there that never got to play on a national team. i did! my childhood dreams came true in november when i suited of for the samoan national team and participated in international competition vs. american samoa. i was a bit rusty but i played really well. 1 for 5, lots of hard hit balls though, a few rboe, and played a solid shortstop.

too bad im much stronger and in much better shape now than in highschool. this is the samoan national team. baseball is brand new here in samoa, and we are trying to get it off the ground. the govt isnt helping much at all though, and i cant put too much time into it b.c im on the rural island of savaii. hopefully i will be able to help them and work with them more during the dry season which is now. IF YOU WANT TO DONATE ANY EQUIPMENT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! we need anything and everything.
