Knuckleball Coach－Hsu Sheng-Ming
----2014 Taiwan School Cyberfair project By Ling Jhou Anser Team A
- Project Introduction
Hsu Sheng-Ming, the coach of EDA- RHIONS Baseball Team, passed away in August, 2013. People feel sad about that. He left many memorable relics which were donated to Meinong Sports Hall. However, Meinong Sports Hall shut down in September, and then Kaohsiung Hakka Affairs took over the relics temporarily. Noticing that news, some students and teachers in Kaohsiung, who have strong passion on basebalh, tought to make a research website of Coach Hsu to preserve his stories .
We hoped to introduce Coach Hsu Sheng-Ming, a Kaohsiung local leader figure through collecting historical data, interviews, field experiences and other activities to the public. On one hand, we commemorate his achievements. On the other hand, we put his preserved relics on the Internet. We used the collected information to make a website, “Knuckleball Coach－Hsu Sheng-Ming” and attend the competition of “Local leaders figure, 2014 Taiwan School Cyberfair ”.

A letter to uncles in EDA-RHIONS
Dear uncles:
We are a team from made up by students and teachers who have strong passion on baseball. In this year, we attend a competition, 2014 Taiwan School Cyberfair. In the process of deciding the issue, we felt sorrow and disappointment when we saw news about Coach Hsu’s relics had been stored in a storeroom. As a result, we thought to make a research website of Coach Hsu to preserve his stories. We can put meaningful relics and pass on the stories on the website. This is our wish, so we hope to have your assistance on this matter.
In the project, we hope to experience baseball player’s life. The following are things we need your assistance.
- Visit baseball field once, we want to know Coach Hsu’s work place and find some living stories. (Coordinate Team’s time)
- Interview with 4-5 Hsu Sheng-Ming coach’s friends. We need you to recommend his friends. Each interview will take 30-40 minutes, and we will offer outline and take photos. (Coordinate Team’s time)
- We want to hold the event, “Make Taiwan Baseball Endless and Blooming- Commemorate Hsu Sheng-Ming.” We hope to unite people to promote Taiwan baseball sport
- In the interview, we need your understanding, because we are so childish that we may ask some stupid questions. Please work with us in relaxed mood. We will maintain our concerntration at work and share our achievements.
- If you have data or advice concerning the project, please provide us some information, such as a story, a small piece of note or an old photo.
