If you've been studying Chinese for any length of time, you're probably familiar with the ever useful ChinesePod, the Shanghai-based company that provides daily lessons in spoken Mandarin.

In the run-up to the Olympics, they have been serving up plenty of sports content, including this recent lesson on baseball. Some helpful ChinesePod users have also posted the Chinese names of baseball terms, positions and teams in the site's comments section.
