Hup Holland Hup !!

Oke, taking a small break from my study break to write a quick post !! As some of you might know, the World Baseball Classics are currently being held. After successes in the past, Holland is again doing very well. The team beat Korea in the openings game and last night even beat Cuba !! Next up Japan !! So "Hup Holland Hup" as we say in Dutch !!

To finish with a card, here's my first "Holland" baseball card including Curt Smith who hit a solo home-run last night !


Oke, I am going back to study, thanks for visiting my blog !!

  1. There has been a good turn out of European clubs, some holding their own against stronger baseball nations, in particular the 'Kingdom of the Netherlands'. The Italians also do well in tournaments.
    I have downloaded 'GameDay' on my Ipad, just to catch some of the games.
    No cards for this years classic though

    1. Yep, Italy doing well as well, good game by Rizzo yesterday. I still need to get used to the "Kingdom of the Netherlands" name which US media seem to be using :-)

  2. I think that I have a few extra autographs of Jonathan Schoop if you're interested in one...I've been rooting for Holland because of him!
