The recent stormy weather that washed out last weekend’s play at Manila’s Rizal Memorial Stadium has apparently carried into the Baseball Philippines boardroom as well. According to a story from the Baseball de World website, the league has suspended 24 National Team players indefinitely for an apparent boycott of international games scheduled late last month. The National Team forms the basis of the domestic six-team Baseball Philippines league, which has spring and fall seasons.
The dispute is centered on the forced removal on longtime Filipino baseball figure Hector Navasero as president of the country’s national baseball association. Navasero was supposed to leave office in April, but no election has been held to replace him. Players are said to be supporters of Navasero, and some league officials recently accused them of not playing hard due to his ouster.
