In 2007, the brand-new national Cambodian Baseball team competed for the first time in the Southeast Asian Games in Thailand, led by Cambodian American coach Joe Cook,” the team didn't win any games, but the real victory was in the journey,” said Michael Siv, a media producer for New America Media.
The heart and soul of every player and the CNBT team is the participation in the 26th SEA Games, which will be held in Jakarta and Palembang from November 11-26 of this year. In order to participate in the 26th SEA GAMES, the team has to convince the parent national sporting body, the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia, that the team has what it takes to compete and representing Cambodia “on its commitment and capability to field a decent team.”
Brief records of CNBT:
- 2008 ranked 51th of 138 teams in the world.
- 2009 ranked 65th of 138 teams in the world.
- May, 2009 ranked 62th of 138 teams in the Asean Cup
- CNBT ranked 12th in Asea and 6th in Asean countries.
The unfortunate result is that the NOC (National Olympic Committee of Cambodia) is not supporting the Cambodian National Baseball Team to represent Cambodia in the 26th Sea Game this November. NOC is not allowing the team to compete, the committee refused to sign the entry form for the competition. The CNBT is a good team, work very hard, and determined to show the world their talents and perseverance.
Here is a message from the Founder and Ambassador of Baseball of Cambodia, Joe Cook:
We are sad to report that Cambodia's first National Baseball Team will not be competing in the 26th annual South East Asian (SEA) Games, this November. The team's application has been denied by the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia.
We want Cambodia to participate and be recognized in the international arena. Despite no support or sponsorship from the Cambodian government, funding has been raised by individuals who believe that our players have what it takes to represent our beloved country. We have a good team in place and are ready to compete in November!
To express your concerns and support for our baseball team, please write to NOC, in hopes that they reconsider the application. camnoc@online.com.kh
