The Million Dollar Arm
Recently India have a reality show to find baseball talent out of their 1 billion citizens. Two guys were picked and have been blogging about their experience as they learn the ropes of baseball, pitching, and life in America. This is a pretty cool site and interesting read into how a foreigner views American culture and the great American pastime.

I'm Indian, but to give you context, these guys are the equivalent of taking someone out of the middle of Alabama.
 Good for them. Because of the popularity of cricket, I've always been surprised that baseball hasn't look at all the young arms. |

This was a great read! The most impressive thing about them is their sense of respect and thankfulness. I wish more Americans could be like that.

I enjoyed the blog....I hope these guys get a chance. It would be great to see Indian players in big time American sports. I know the Indian population in the Bay Area would go nuts for them.

I heard an NPR story a couple of months ago on how hard the EPL is working to find Indian footballers. The first major league to develop Indian talent will make a fortune.
