Comments on: Baseball in New Zealand! http://ted.dintersmith.org/2007/11/25/baseball-in-new-zealand/ A travel blog reporting on our family's adventures -- big and small Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:22:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Will http://ted.dintersmith.org/2007/11/25/baseball-in-new-zealand/#comment-1440 Will Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:07:54 +0000 http://ted.dintersmith.org/2007/11/25/baseball-in-new-zealand/#comment-1440 I came across this blog while idly searching google image for pictures of New Zealand. I spent a semester in Auckland in the (Northern Hemisphere) Fall of 2006, met my girlfriend there, and truly love the country. My experience there was absolutely fantastic, and I think your characterization of the kiwis is spot on. I was attracted to your blog in particular because, aside from my interest in New Zealand, I am an avid baseball fan and am very interested in its foothold in NZ. While I live in Boston now, I will always be a fan of my home team, the Atlanta Braves. Either way, nothing could be better than a blog regarding New Zealand, baseball, and a knock at that lowly AAA team, the Yankees. I really enjoyed it!

Hockey team? No, no--I remember! But didn't they change their name to the Devil Rays, and retire to St. Pete? I'm sure they did... Lovely pictures, of a lovely place! Ted, the folks with whom you spoke, Ric & Kitty, are my nephew and niece-in-law (?). Amazing people, as you have ascertained for yourself, I'm sure! PK is their son, and good 'un he is, too. As for New Zealanders, they are in a class by themselves! More British than the Brits, but friendly as the Aussies, and as helpful as anyone could hope for. And the Bay-of-Isles is about as picture-perfect a place as you're likely to see, anywhere in the world! Ah, yes–the Yankees… Hockey team? No, no–I remember!
