Category talk:Philippines National Team Players

The first four players in this category are all either 5' 6" or 5' 7". That is highly unusual in baseball, especially considering that two of them are pitchers. Look at the average European, American, Korean, Japanese, Australian, etc. national team and most pitchers are at least 6'. Is the average height in the Philippines that low compared to the rest of the world or are there so few baseball players that men of average height get picked? - --Mischa 20:35, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

Our 50th entry here is Fredo Olivares. The Philippines are the 30th senior national team category to 50 players - the 16 teams from the first two World Baseball Classics, then Nicaragua, Spain, the Netherlands Antilles, Britain, Germany, France, Brazil, Belgium, Greece, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Colombia, Guatemala and now the Philippines. This is our 5th Asian country to 50, seven years after China was the 4th. - --Mischa (talk) 11:26, 11 February 2016 (EST)

Carlos Muñoz (Philippines) is the 100th player here. They are the 32nd country there, behind the USA, Japan, South Korea, Cuba, Taiwan, the Netherlands, Venezuela, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, China, Nicaragua, Panama, Spain, Great Britain, South Africa, Germany, Brazil, Colombia, France, Belgium, Guatemala, the Netherlands Antilles, Sweden, Croatia, Argentina and Pakistan. Since they got to 50, they passed Greece but were passed by Argentina, Sweden and Pakistan. - Mischa (talk) 16:37, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

I think there are no red links left; 140 players. The last one was Bryan Victrix Castillo. That makes it the 13th Asian country to that point joining Cambodia (18 players), China (247), Hong Kong (86), Indonesia (79), Israel (104), Japan (1,102), Laos (31), Mongolia (25), Pakistan (123), Singapore (31), Taiwan (586) and Thailand (89). Sri Lanka and Palestine should be done soon as well. - Mischa (talk) 16:39, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
