As the next home series against the Venezuelan Olympic team quickly approaches, let's take a look back at a special moment from the last time these two teams squared off. Pictured on the right, the one and only Carlos Zambrano (photo from Cubs) ventured away from the bright lights and big city to support his native countries softball team as they battled the Chicago Bandits. In front of a sold out crowd, Zambrano first took some batting practice off Bandits' assistant coach Thomas Macera. After getting loose, Zambrano stepped in to square off with a pitcher from the Venezuelan team. A video of what transpired against the Olympic caliber pitcher can be found via youtube here, but all in attendance remember one thing .... Big Z could not catch up to the pitches, eventually striking out after numerous attempts.
Who says fast pitch softball is easier than baseball?
