Questa cosa baseball nostra non ha ancora preso piede in Italia ancora. Ma una vittoria contro gli americani potenti potrebbero cambiare le cose.
(This baseball thing of ours hasn't quite caught on in Italy yet. But a win over the mighty Americans might change things.)
Baseball America | Blog | Baseball America Prospects Blog | Italy’s Amazing Run Continues With 14-4 Win Over Canada:
In a soccer-mad country, no one on Team Italy believes that even an amazingly unexpected WBC Championship is going to make baseball Italy’s passatempo nazionale. But it may help build further interest in the sport.
“This morning on the sports page of the Gazzetta there was a big article about baseball. That hasn’t happened in a long time,” Holmberg said. “The article will probably be a little bigger tomorrow. In Italy, soccer gets 30 pages and everything else gets the last five. Maybe now we’re up to the 15th page now. This is tremendous for us.”
It’s also a big deal for baseball in Europe. Currently, European teams are 5-1 in this year’s World Baseball Classic.The Netherlands is one win away from San Francisco and Italy looks like it wants to join them.
