"Baseball has provided a healing and unifying force that could not be found elsewhere in the nation."Researcher Hsieh Shih-yuan (謝仕淵) noted. Baseball has played an important role in raising the profile of Taiwan when it was still an unknown member of the international community. in 1968 Agust, Taiwan's Teenagers baseball team, The Red leaves compete with the world champion, Japen's 歌山. Much to the world's surprise, Taiwan win with 7 to 0. And since then, when pepoele talks about Taiwan, they will think of baseball as well.
Now, Taiwan is qualified for the Baijing Olympics, though Chien-ming Wang is not able to play in the tournament, we will still tune in the TV and wathch the game together.
