Everyone know our friend Ben is a basketball collector. But, news of an Aussie baseball prospect may push him in the true direction. Boss Moanaroa was scouted by the Boston Red Sox and has potential. Is this what Ben has needed all along?

If Brad Thomas wasn't good enough to do it, I don't know if there's any hope!
UNDENIABLY GOOD TRADER!

Video Poker Deuces Wild Champion!Dave Nilsson played for a while. I think 4 Aussies have made MLB all told.. I think I remember a pitcher whose name started with K also. I'm sure google has the answer.

Australia had a team in the WBC. That's where Bobby Cox found Peter Moylan. And how 'bout that Damian Moss?
I'm sure there are lots more.
So, how many basketball players are from Australia?
I collect Braves and Phillies.

At the end of last year before the lockout there 3 austrailian nba players:
Andrew Bogut
Patrick Mills
David Andersen
Bogut is the only one playing so far this year though, not sure where the other 2 are now but I assume they went elsewhere to play during the lockout.
I collect: A.J. Green, Ponder, DeMarco Murray, Locker, Gabbert, Torrey Smith, Andy Dalton, Cam Newton, Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Elway, Von Miller, Eric Decker, Sakic, Patrick Roy, Dale Jr.

Jewel Quest Champion!There was also Andrew Gaze in the NBA a few years back. I only know that because he is a Seton Hall alum, played on the team that went to the Final Four in 1989.

We used to have a decent baseball league in the 90s.
I got into it a bit when Australia won a couple of Olympic medals.
My favourite player was Dave Nilsson.
They have just re-started the baseball league after a hiatus.
Brad Thomas is helping out.
There was an article about how he was risking another contract in the US just to help out Australian baseball.
I don't know if you guys know this but there are baseball scouts in Australia all the time.
They are always trying to turn our cricket players into pitchers for their throwing arm, fielding etc
I never hear of them succeeding so I guess not.
Dave Anderson has gone back to Europe.
Patty Mills came to play in Australia during the lockout then went to China when offered a big contract.
Patty actually got fired from his Chinese team when he picked up a minor injury.
Oh and yeah I have lost count of how many Australians have played in the NBA
