Online world, The global and the local ...

This is the sport article that I've read on Yahoo headline sport news:

Sammy Sosa's 600th homer resembled so many that came before — except this time the Chicago Cubs were on the other side. Playing for the Texas Rangers after a year out of baseball, Sosa became the fifth member of the 600-homer club Wednesday night when he connected against his former team.

After driving a 1-2 pitch to right-center for a solo shot in the fifth inning of Texas' 7-3 victory, Slammin' Sammy bounced out of the batter's box with his trademark hop and thrust his right fist into the air before reaching first base. He was mobbed at home plate by his teammates while the scoreboard showed pictures of all five members of the elite club: Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Sosa.

Sosa played for the Cubs from 1992-2004, winning the '98 NL MVP award and making seven All-Star teams while hitting 545 homers with Chicago.

Softball and baseball are not a populer sport game in Indonesian. Here, people love soccer or football (not American football). People know UEFA, AC Milan, Manchester United, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho the Brazilian stars, better than those who are the top line in NBA.

Even I keep a piece of a ball and also a the trousers (I don't know the name). I bought it in the garage sale some where in my town (we call it "Klithikan" java word mean pity).

That's always an ambiguity between the global and the local. Maybe that's why Yahoo, Google, and so many giants, localized their site....

Please... come and be our best friend and also our partners in Indonesia...
we wait for you...
