The Palestine National Baseball Team is here to stay ft. Tariq Suboh and Yunis Halim

from More Than Meets The Eye · host Sharon Lin

Did you know that Palestine has its own national baseball team? If you didn’t, now you know. In this episode, we’re going to talk about the Palestine National Baseball Team. You’ll hear from the team’s catcher, Tariq Suboh, and pitcher and outfielder, Yunis Halim. Who founded the Palestine National Baseball Team? How did it all start? (Ps. It all started in Gaza!) What are some of the biggest challenges for the team so far, especially amid a genocidal oppression and occupation by the state of Israel? What does it feel like wearing the jersey, stepping on the field, and representing the homeland? You’ll get to hear of these behind-the-scenes and important stories of the team. And of course we talked about some of the exciting games the team has played in recent years, such as the 2023 Asian Baseball Championship which took place in Taiwan, and the first ever Baseball United Arab Classic in 2024 in Dubai. What's next for the Palestine National Baseball Team?  Towards the end, we'll also get to know a little bit more of other members on the team with a game of rapid fire questions.  Head to my Instagram @sharonlin_human for video highlights of this interview.  Follow the Palestine National Baseball Team on Instagram: @baseballpalestine For media inquiries, reach out to Nader Ihmoud on instagram @naderihmoud or @baseballpalestine Cover photo: The team at the 2023 Asian Baseball Championship in Taiwan.
