Asia Insight - Season 10 - Eps 10: Children Forging their Futures with Baseball: China
Once considered a niche sport in China, baseball has gained popularity in the nation ahead of the Tokyo Olympics. Former Chinese national team captain Sun Lingfeng sees this as a chance to help disadvantaged youth, recruiting children from impoverished regions to his team, the Angels, which also provides them with education and housing. Skilled sports players receive priority in university applications, so Sun hopes that baseball will bring new opportunities to the children's lives.
