NaBUru38 205 Posted May 23, 2018 #22 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I think that the future of international baseball should be tours, like in rugby union. Imagine if United States toured East Asia, or if Japan toured the Americas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if United States toured East Asia, or if Japan toured the Americas. Is there really demand for that? In the US at least International baseball is an afterthought at best - I'm pretty sure the Little League World Series (which is played by literal pre-pubescent children) is a bigger deal than any International Baseball event here.

NaBUru38 205 Posted May 23, 2018 #24 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Exactly, that's why they should tour other countries. The Tokyo Dome or Foro Sol would sell out in minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tokyo Dome or Foro Sol would sell out in minutes. baseball is already a big thing (actually, the National sport) in Japan (and also in Korea and Chinese Taipei)... and also for them, their own leagues and the North-American MLB are the most important thing, sometimes the only that really matters... and in the other Central-American Countries (where Baseball is the main sport) we have the same situation: the MLB has basically all the attention of the media... even here in Italy, we have quite a good number of games (drawing a reasonable attention) on our main pay-tv (Sky Italia) of the MLB, but no network following carefully our National league nor the National team games (normally we only have the final series of our league or the European Champs final, if we make it, on our tv networks)... so, in the end, I don't see any chance for Baseball to change things in the future...especially because the main protagonists themselves are not interested in doing it...

NaBUru38 205 Posted May 23, 2018 #26 Share Posted May 23, 2018 True about Japan. But Central America and the Caribbean would benefit a lot of having national teams play at home versus the United States and Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,862 Posted December 19, 2018 #28 Share Posted December 19, 2018 meanwhile the European qualification tournament will be played in September almost certainly in Italy (historical baseball cities Bologna and Parma are the proposed venues)... that time period would eventually hurt Italy and the Netherlands (ITA more than NED) a lot (as it means that they won't be able to start their MLB players), even if I think that there's no chance any other European Nation can upset both of them (maybe 1, but definitely not 2)...

AlFHg 330 Posted January 20, 2019 #29 Share Posted January 20, 2019 WBSC has decided almost everything: americas qualifier in USA in March 2020; Europe/Africa qualifier in Italy, 18-22 September 2019 Final world qualifier in Taipei, dates yet to be published Benolympique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,211 Posted January 21, 2019 #30 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Also the Premier12 will only give the Asian/Oceania quota if they finish within the top 6, if not the final world qualifier will give 2 quotas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
