Hi all!
I will be looking at several different topics throughout the semester that connect to the course, but one that Professor McGrath recommended was looking at baseball in China and making some connections there. So here I am posting a link to an article back from 2017 that talks about how the MLB has plans to build 20 baseball development facilities across china over the next 10 years. These facilities will teach the fundamentals of the game to grades 7-12 in an attempt to continue to grow the sport in China as the Asian percentage of players in the MLB today comes primarily from Japan, Taiwan, and the Koreas. https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb-announced-10-year-deal-significantly-grow-baseball-china-181457400.html
