Vietnam’s Baseball Club Championship Open Only to Local Players

This annual professional tournament aims to promote baseball and discover potential talent within the national and local teams. The 2023 edition, scheduled from July 26 to 30 in Hanoi, includes several significant changes compared to the previous year.

In an effort to enhance competition, the organizer has expanded the number of participating baseball clubs from eight to eleven. However, international players will not be allowed to participate in this year’s championship.

During a press briefing, VBSF chairman Tran Duc Phan acknowledged that baseball is a less popular sport in Vietnam. He explained that in the 2022 edition, foreign players were permitted to join the competition to add diversity and enhance the level of play. However, this year’s edition will solely feature Vietnamese players.

While these changes may impact the appeal and skill level of the tournament, Chairman Phan believes they will provide an opportunity for domestic players to improve and showcase their abilities. He further stated that the VBSF plans to organize a separate competition for international players in the future.

Once Vietnamese baseball players have further honed their skills, the VBSF will explore the possibility of allowing clubs to sign both domestic and international players to compete against each other.

Additionally, the VBSF faces obstacles in promoting baseball in Vietnam, including a lack of suitable land for baseball fields and a limited number of coaches and referees. To overcome these challenges, the federation has sought assistance from referee teams in South Korea and Japan, who have provided substantial support.

Vietnam discovers 2,000-year-old stringed instrument

Image
Discovered along the Mekong River in southern Vietnam, the 2,000-year-old instrument resembles a single-stringed harp and may have been an ancestor to the complex musical instruments people still plucked today in Vietnam, according to UK-based science website IFLScience . The artifact consists of a 35-centimeter piece of deer antler with a hole at one end for a peg, which was likely used to tune the string. The antler most likely came from a Sambar deer or an Indian hog deer, two species native to mainland Southeast Asia. While the string seems to have eroded away long ago, the instrument features a bridge that was perhaps used to support the string. Lead researcher and Ph.D. student Fredeliza Campos from the Australian National University said the artifact is at least 2,000 years old — dating back to Vietnam’s pre-Oc Eo culture along the Mekong River, which is exceptionally early for this kind of instrument. How the artifact could have been played. Image credit: F Z Campo...
