Happy Halloween! Well, now that I've got that out of my way, I can speak some baseball. Baltimore Orioles baseball, that is. To be more specific, I can speak about Cal Ripken Jr. and what he is doing China. I'll do just that.
Longtime Baltimore Oriole Cal Ripken Jr. is in China right now. Not as a coach or manager in a Chinese League, but as a special envoy for the State Department. He is attempting to get the Chinese youth more into baseball. This way, in a few years, everyone will know baseball and hopefully want to play it. This in turn will produce more Chinese baseball players and grow the market for Major League Baseball in China. There's not much more information right now about the trip that is available. But, from what I could tell, the trip is going well. - John T.
