“HERO! HITO!” Recaps Taiwan’s 2024 Baseball Fervor, Indigenous Players’ Journeys - No Man Is An Island Lungnan Isak Fangas’ documentary rewinds Taiwan’s rare athletic win on the international stage, though merely whispers the Indigenous heritage of championship athletes.

Writing for #NoManIsAnIsland — the Taiwan arts and culture blog under the @newbloommag.net collective — I review #HEROHITO #冠軍之路, the recent documentary by Lungnan Isak Fangas recapping #TeamTaiwan 's 2024 #Premier12 championship win: nomanisanis.land/hero-hito-re... 🧋⚾

Chinese Taipei Baseball Association #CTBA Chairman #Jeffrey_Koo hosted #Team_Taiwan coaching staff earlier this month and gifted each member with a #Rolex #Datejust to thank them for winning the #Premier12 tournament.
Every watch was a different color, and the time was set to the winning moment.

Mario Sanchez 10-strikeout outing lifts Venezuela to victory over USA - World Baseball Softball Confederation "The key was to stick to the plan, trusting in my team’s offense, trusting my catcher, and everything we planned from the start for the game," said Sanchez.

Taking the mound today for Águilas del Zulia in their Round Robin debut is Mario Sanchez, who pitched in Korea & Taiwan last two summers. Only one #LVBP start this Winter (6.0 IP; 0 R; 7 K) also looked great at #Premier12 He'll be opposed by Lara's LHP Adrian Almeida (2.59 ERA; 31.1 IP; 8 BB; 24 K)

#Rakuten_Monkeys free agent 1B Yu-Hsien Chu has reportedly reached an agreement with the #WeiChuan_Dragons on a 4-year contract in excess of 10 million NT per year, or 850K per month.

Chu hit .295 with 12 home runs in 2024. He made the final out at first base in the #Premier12 championship game.

For the #Soccer fans across platforms. This is a sign of #DAZN's growth. I really hope more leagues across all sports eventually get on the network. I've been begging for access to #NPB and #KBO Baseball so hopefully, we start getting more seeing as they had the #Premier12.

In a series of interviews since #Chinese_Taipei won the #Premier12, CPBL Commissioner Chi-Chang Tsai (蔡其昌) has revealed:
1> He hand-picked #Rakuten_Monkeys minor league manager Hao-Jiu Tseng (曾豪駒) to manage #Team_Taiwan.
2> There will be significant roster changes coming to the WBC Qualifier squad.

原來 #十二強 #中華隊 #總教練 #曾豪駒 是會長挑的，不知道過去還有哪幾次的中華隊總教練是 #中華職棒 會長挑的？

#CPBL #Premier12 #蔡其昌 #史上最強

National baseball team from Taiwan winning gold at Premier12, a stunning upset over the Japanese team.

The gesture is now a national symbolism of the name "Taiwan" being erased from the world stage.

#CPBL is selling #Premier12 Global Champion merchandise to celebrate #Chinese_Taipei / #Team_Taiwan winning the tournament last week. However it is missing the official license from #WBSC.
This kind of sneaky maneuver is still common in Taiwan, and so far there is no statement from WBSC, either.

Very moving words for #TeamTaiwan 🇹🇼by Taiwan VP @bikhim after winning the @WBSC #Premier12.

請世界看見台灣，關注台灣🇹🇼🫶🏻🌍

To celebrate 🇹🇼Taiwan's historic victory at the WBSC #Premier12 Championship, a parade was held in Taipei on Tuesday, where baseball fans cheered as Team Taiwan's players, coaches, and members made their way to the Presidential Office.
為慶祝台灣🇹🇼在WBSC 錦標賽中歷史性勝利，週二在台北舉行了一場遊行。棒球迷們歡呼著，迎接台灣隊的球員、教練和成員一路前往總統府。

心戰喊話車迷彩塗裝不一樣

#Premier12 冠軍戰，淒涼得只能看文字轉播的情況下，我一直說太緊張了，我不敢看下去了....
某人：現在幾比幾?
我：4:0，台灣4。
某人：現在第幾局？
我：最後一局了。
某人：都領先四分了，會𦟀的！
我：這是日本隊啊，不到最後一刻不知道，球是圓的......啊！Yay！𦟀了𦟀了𦟀了！
這完全2013年那場經典賽留下的PTSD，即使一路領先，不到最後一個出局數，都不覺得會𦟀啊😅
這個再見雙殺，每看一次就激動一次😭

I saw the leg kick and 100% thought the Angels signed Rich Hill off his #Premier12 outings.

When your national team can't wear the country's name on its jerseys this seems like a proper gesture... Big props to #Taiwan's national #baseball team for winning that #Premier12 title.
And nope, #TaiwanisnotChina. Photo courtesy of CNA.

Thousands of Taiwanese fans showed up at the airport to welcome the newly crowned #Premier12 champion #Team_Taiwan. Taiwanese VP Bi-Khim Hsiao was on site to greet the team as well. (Photo and video from CNA, Taiwan)

Elsewhere in the #USMNT -verse, the #USABaseball team is bringing some bronze medals home from #Tokyo! Considering they were handicapped with Minor League players on the #Premier12 rosters, they did well.

Chieh-Hsien Chen, capitán del equipo taiwanés, celebra la victoria al tiempo que se señala el pecho. El mundo entero sabe qué debería llevar ahí escrito…

Ayer fue la final del #Premier12, el torneo internacional de #béisbol que reúne a las doce primeras selecciones nacionales del ranking mundial. Ganó #Taiwán, un equipo que sigue sin poder llevar su nombre escrito en el pecho de la chaqueta.
