		Japanese have reached stardom in America, but a Chinese player has never played in the major leagues even though more than half of today's big-league players were born outside the United States.
		Though America's national pastime has a sporadic history in China, this increased attention by the major leagues reflects the country's dramatic opening to the world -- economically and socially -- since Mao Zedong's death in 1976.
		In 1979, the first year the United States established relations with communist China, baseball was utterly absent, and few Chinese had heard of it.

		Thanks for looking into this for me. I found out the following from the media rep at LL Baseball: Taiwan (Republic of China) teams won the Little League Baseball World Series 17 times between 1969 and 1997.
		So, while it could be a particular team, it's unlikely that they would have chosen one out of 17 different teams to feature on a note.
		I'm still hoping to hear back from someone at the bank or from a collector who is really into Chinese notes and who can confirm the team ID if at all possible.
