- Gift_Ngoepe abstract "M'Poh "Gift" Ngoepe (born 18 January 1990) is a South African professional baseball player within the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. A native of Randburg, Gauteng, Ngoepe became the first Black South African, and the sixth South African to sign a professional baseball contract when he signed in October 2008. Growing up, Ngoepe's mother was a clubhouse attendant for a team called the Mets. The family lived in one of the clubhouse rooms. Ngoepe often competed with players 10, 15, even 20 years older. He was invited to Major League Baseball's academy in Tirrenia, Italy, where the Pirates signed him.The 2009 GCL Pirates had nine players each from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, with the United States a distant third at six. There were the two highly publicized, pioneering Indian pitchers, Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel, a second baseman named Henry Henry from Colombia, two players from Puerto Rico, and one each from Mexico, Panama, Australia, Canada and one of the first three players ever signed out of South Africa, Ngoepe, while one of the Americans, Chris Aure, is from Alaska. "We eat together in the cafeteria, but sometimes we try each other's foods," Ngoepe says. "I listen to the Indians' music when I go past their rooms, and they listen to my music from Africa. We tell each other stories about our home countries. We do everything together." "Everybody's the same here, like family," Venezuelan infielder Elevys Gonzalez says.He was a member of the South Africa national baseball team at the 2009 World Baseball Classic. At the 2009 WBC, he hit consecutive triples off of Mexico's Elmer Dessens in a 14-3 loss to Mexico. On 10 August 2009 Sports Illustrated did an article on Ngoepe titled "A Gift From Africa" which covered how he started his baseball career, his upbringing and time with the Pirates since moving from South Africa.As of 2013, Ngoepe is playing for the Pirates' Double-A team, the Altoona Curve. Ngoepe has previously played with the Pirates' Class-A Short Season affiliate the State College Spikes, their Low Class-A affiliate the West Virginia Power, and their Class-A Advanced affiliate the Bradenton Marauders. In late 2012, Ngoepe was invited by the Pirates to participate in the Arizona Fall League on the Scottsdale Scorpions roster.".
