Baseball Historian Biography

The 2000 Olympics exposed baseball like never before to Australia's citizens. A pro-baseball league exists Down-Under but it barely draws fans. The fans did come out for the Olymics, and over 14,000 attended the Aussie's game with the United States. It is acknowledged that Australia is producing a few talented baseball players. Pitcher Luke Prokopec was rated Australia's top pitcher, but signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers before the Olympics began. Dave Nilsson, an All-Star catcher with the Milwaukee Brewers in 1999, fled to Japan so he could play in this year's Olympics. Nilsson recently signed with the New York Yankees but will not be eligible for post-season play. Aussie pitcher Craig Anderson, a Olympic star, is a prospect in the Seattle Mariners organization.
