Baseball is a niche sport when it comes to Olympics. I don't see how MLB stops their season to have players involved.

Wishful thinking due to it being set in Los Angeles. Besides if not they will have hard time making sure they will be able to use Angel and Dodger stadium during the games, those will be some long away trips

I assume every single player is based in the USA? :p

Believe it or not, from what I could find, 3 of them were born and raised in Israel: Leichman, Lipetz, Erel. Though the first two were born to American parents and Erel spent part of his life in the US :p

Being born in Israel is not what I meant. I meant whether they are living in USA. I checked this Shlomo Lipetz guy since that sounded like someone who wasn't born in USA and he was not but he lives in Brooklyn so checks down on my list too :p

They all signed an agreement of going to Israel fee times a year, and you should remember that they play in Minors league or Work in MLB teams, they have work in the US so they have no reason to move here to Israel, the law here is from 1950 and does not meant to serve the need for baseball team in the year of 2019-2020

Due to this Israeli team project the sport gone into a giant upgrade here and fields are being built and more and more kids are taking part in the sport 

Will puzzle future archaelogists. Why did Middle Eastern people in the 21st century AD start worshipping a giant diamond shaped god?

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
