Pakistan's World Baseball Classic Team Set Up A Kickstarter To Cover $15,000 In Expenses For The 2016 WBC Qualifiers

Kickstarter- We first want to welcome you to our Kickstarter page, as we are very excited for this great opportunity. We are creating this campaign because we have the honor of being invited to one of the biggest baseball tournaments in the world… and we need your help! We are going to participate in the qualifying round for the 4th edition of the World Baseball Classic. The Qualifier will take place in Brooklyn, NY between September 22-25; we will be playing against the national teams from Great Britain, Brazil, and Israel. Words cannot express how excited and honored we are for this amazing opportunity to show the world that baseball is played everywhere and that we can compete with the best; THIS IS THE BIGGEST MOMENT IN THE HISTORY OF PAKISTANI BASEBALL!

Your donation and support will not only allow us to help our players train for the World Baseball Classic Qualifier, but will also contribute to a great cause in further developing the game of baseball in Pakistan. We have so much talent in Pakistan! As many people know, the sport of cricket is very popular in our country. However, many cricket players are joining baseball teams, since the sports are similar in that they both are bat-and-ball games. We truly believe that the future of baseball in Pakistan is very bright and with your gracious donations we can capitalize on the momentum created by our participation in the WBC Qualifier and continue to develop our youth to hopefully one day be able to produce players that are capable of playing on a Major League Baseball club!

Are you fucking serious Pakistan? Internet begging for 15k? What, you couldn’t set up a Pakistani bake sale to raise $15k like a little league team or some shit? It’s lame as fuck for a country that has nukes to resort to begging for money, regardless of sport. I don’t care if you are 23rd(!!!) in the world rankings or if you have this Pakistani hoss hitting moonshots in your highlight reel.

Actually if we are being honest, I almost donated $10 after seeing the Islamabad Dmitri Young mashing in that grainy video. I fucking loved Da Meat Hook and the Mets would have the jump on scouting him since the qualifiers are in Brooklyn. Anything that could potentially solve our first base problem and end up with a guy nicknamed Da Big Lamb Kebab or some shit while crushing dingers is a win for everyone involved. Plus the New York papers would fucking LOVE him.

However we can all agree that the true star of that video is whoever did that music. That opening songs was FIRE. I almost forgot I was watching a video that was almost definitely recorded on an iPhone 2 off of an old VHS tape playing on an old TV. There’s also an extremely good chance that I loved the music because it came from an old video game that I can’t remember. But that’s neither here nor there. Have some respect for yourself Pakistan and ask some rich cricket player to foot the bill.

P.S. I despise the WBC. The US never wins shit and the first thing I associate with the WBC is Carlos Delgado, Jose Reyes, and J.J. Putz all getting season ending injuries early in the year after playing in the 2013 tournament. Fuck the WBC.
