BASEBALL PALALAKASIN

Joaquin Loyzaga

MAGSASAGAWA ang Philippine Amateur Baseball Association (PABA) na pinamumunuan ni Joaquin ‘Chito’ Loyzaga ng training camp para sa men’s at women’s team sa layuning higit na mapaunlad at mapalakas ang baseball sa bansa.

“I initiated this worthy project primarily to get the interest of the youth to indulge actively in baseball and ultimately play for the country in future international competitions,” sabi ni Loyzaga.

“This is already my plan even before I assume the PABA presidency. I vouched the idea instituting training camp for men and women simply because to entice more players play baseball,” aniya.

Sinabi ng dating basketball player na kailangang palakasin din ang women baseball para magkaroon ng mga female player at ipakita ang kanilang angking galing sa sport.

Ayon kay Loyzaga, kakausapin niya si ­Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Chairman William ‘Butch’ Ra­mirez para suportahan ang kanyang mga programa sa pagpapalakas sa baseball.

“Chairman is a true blooded sportsman, an athlete during his heydays and former athletics director. I am pretty optimistic he will support my programs to solidify the foundation of baseball,” dagdag pa niya.

Isa sa mga ginawa ni Loyzaga ay inalis niya ang mga may edad na players at pinalitan ng mga bata para makasabay sa kanilang foreign counterparts.

“Most of our players have been there for so long. It’s high time to recruit young promising players and train them and play for the national team in the 2019 SEA Games,” dagdag pa niya. CLYDE MARIANO
