After the end of World War 2 and Taiwan coming under the rule of the Republic of China, the first national team was established in 1951, symbolizing the reinvigoration of baseball in post-war Taiwan. This not only further solidified baseball's position as Taiwan's national sport, but also coincidentally became a source of national pride, something which has remained true to the present day.
二戰結束後，國民政府於 1951 年組織了第一支國家棒球代表隊，象徵戰後棒球運動的復興，不僅「國球」地位更加鞏固，更意外成為國家榮譽的象徵，直到今天仍是如此。
