Australia Wombats Dodgeball Team
As part of the Elite Athlete Exchange Program, the Wombats have been invited to spend some time with the New York Mets during their visit to the USA for the Dodgeball World Championships. The Wombats will spend the day with The Mets before they take on the in form Milwaukee Brewers.
The Wombats have a number of ex-baseball players in their ranks and will exchange ideas in everything from pitching to catching and will even give Mr. Met (the Mets mascot) a lesson in sledging. “Mr. Met can’t speak, but apparently can gesture in 12 different languages. That’s a great starting point for him, but by the time we’ve finished with him, I’m pretty sure he’ll be rubbing his opponents nose in it regardless of what language they speak” explains Jon.
Manager of the Mets, Terry Collins was enthusiastic about the Wombats visit. “We’ve got a good team, but no matter how good we are, we aren’t the Yankees. The Wombats should get the team focussed and ready for the run to the finals.”
The Wombats will be visiting the Mets on 20 August and will be available for photos and autographs before the game kicks off at 7:30pm.
