However, in looking around for sources online, I did come across an interesting account of baseball in the Hawaiian Kingdom.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14862310351171403117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231564.post-44340029177693448772013-08-12T21:14:07.798-10:002013-08-12T21:14:07.798-10:00hi Joel, I am researching the baseball event in th...hi Joel, I am researching the baseball event in the Far Eastern Games and have hit a block when trying to find out the names of the Filipino players. <br /><br />I often see this page when I am googling, so I thought I'd try and see if you know where I can find such information.<br /><br />Like you've said, <i>Taking in a Game: A History of Baseball in Asia</i> didn't have much to say on Filipino baseball. I've looked into a book called <i>Asian Pacific Americans and Baseball: A History</i> by Joel S. Franks, but only was able to get a few names out, such as Birtulpo.<br /><br />Most of sources I find are in Japanese, which is good for getting the names of Japanese and Chinese players since it is written mostly in Kanji, but horrible for finding the names of Pinoy players.<br /><br />A list of name such as <br /> Pitchers: ドザヌ、ビルチュルボ(Birtulpo) <br /> Catchers: シイ‧プラトン(C. Platón)、シー‧プラトン(疑同シイ‧プラトン) <br /> Infielders: イラナン、カンセコ(Canseco)、シリセコ、レギス(Regis)、レジス(疑同レギス)、ベルナレス、ヱム‧プラトン(M. Platón) <br /> Outfielders: パブロー(Pablo)、ジャロビロ、トルレス(Torres)、トレス(疑同トルレス) <br /> Unknown: ベルモンテ(Belmonte)、モンタルボ(Montalvo)、サンテアゴ(Santiago)、ゴゾム、ロクサス(Roxas)、ジャビヱル、カシミロ <br /><br />is hard to decode, and hard for others (even present day Japanese) to know who is who. The names in parentheses are only my guesses. I have to go through multiple Japanese courses, type out the katagana one by one (I'm Taiwanese and have very poor understanding of Japanese), then guess what the names might have been originally. <br /><br />It would be great if there's a source to look up all the names of the Pinoy players.<br /><br />Thanks for your time.竹板凳https://www.blogger.com/profile/04750287148383644259noreply@blogger.com
