Indian Reality Show Winners Get Shot at Pitching in America
Thought this was pretty interesting, a real testament to the growth of baseball around the globe.
Two kids from India won a reality show, from a field of 30,000 contestants, with one of the prizes being a chance to pitch in front of MLB scouts.

That might just be wacky enough to work.
Signing one or both of them to a contract couldn’t hurt. If they have athletic ability and can throw hard, they can be taught the rest.
Why not?

Low risk, High Reward
I guess depending on who they’d sign with, they could be a great deal. Either way its an exciting development in baseball.

Its about time...
we got some Indians into the league. Well, at least I hope they can make it somewhere.
It reminds me of something I just saw on the West Wing. If you have two guys who can run to first in exactly the same time, but one has perfect form and one has a terrible form which one would you want on your team?
The one with terrible form could be taught the correct form and then beat the other guy. These two don’t have any bad habits or tendencies and could be taught to pitch. My only concern is they spent a year with Tom House.

Oh, man, I got so excited when I first read this
I thought it said Indiana and was going to try to win. Is there a reality show for Americans who want to learn cricket?
Tommie Agee was out.
