引：「棒球當時有兩個政治意涵，國民黨想鞏固內部統治，獲得打棒球的本省人的支持；並在國際上受到美國跟日本的尊重跟承認。」

劉昌德解釋，台灣在國際外交不獲國際承認，有來自中國「一個中國政策」壓迫、兩岸政治局勢升溫下的生存焦慮，台灣民眾對棒球比賽的熱情，始終包含著渴望國際看見台灣，希望在國際賽展現台灣的軟實力。

「長期流行文化的壓迫下，台灣常常不被看見，我們渴望贏韓國、渴望贏日本，我們連美國都贏了，這些地方的流行文化是我們生活一部分，通常我們都是片面接受，很少可以把文化輸出到這些地區。」

Any #rowing types out there? Or old #WestminsterSchool pupils? Or do you know someone who fits this description? The lovely Chris Seward has just released his book "In the Pink: A History of the Water at Westminster School Boat Club" which details the full history of rowing at #wsbc. It's been beautifully put together by my colleague Colin Hall so it looks a million dollars yet only costs a bargainous £36 inc. postage & package for those of you in the UK. https://wsbc-in-the.pink/
