Our first Win at Premier 12 !! Going to Tokyo !!

Of course the World Series are over but of course that does not mean we have a World Champion yet (bring on the comments !). The World Championship has only just started in Taiwan with the finals being planned in Tokyo next week. The Netherlands, or Kingdom of the Netherlands as we seem to officially call ourselves in these baseball tournaments, won the first game 2 days ago beating Chinese Taipai by 7 to 4. This without key players like Gregorius, Profar, Schoop, Simmons, Bogaerts but with Andruw Jones. Would be great to see all these players play together at some point.

A few years ago we actually became World Champions so who knows what can happen this time around. Even better news is that I am visiting Tokyo for work next week and was able to be there on Saturday. The best news is that I got tickets to the final that day !!!! Let's hope the Kingdom of the Netherlands reaches the final and I can be part of history !

Anyways, before we get carried away here let's wait and see what happens in the coming days.

Any of you following the Premier 12 ? Any tips for good LCS in Tokyo ?

As every post needs a card, here's a Dutchie !!

The Latest Dutch Yankee !!

So we all noticed Jeter retire from the game last year. But did you all notice who is likely going to try to fill his shoes (unlikely but he can try!), it's Dutchman Didi Gregorius !!

It doesn't happen everyday that a Dutchman plays for the Yankees so it's only appropriate to get one of his cards :-))

So here's my first, still in Diamondbacks gear !

Hope he does well and succeeds at the Yankees this season !! And of course hope to get my hands on one of his cards in Yankees gear !!

Thanks for visiting my blog today !
