相較於其他運動項目，棒球運動能夠在台灣得到如此高度的發展，最功不可沒的即是原住民，原住民族在棒球運動中扮演了十分重要的角色。本研究試圖探究原住民與棒球運動之間的相關性，並且掌握棒球運動與外在社會文化之脈絡。

在運動方面，原住民族先天的生理狀況與後天的社會地位，究竟為他們帶來了優勢亦或是阻礙呢?本研究試圖以影響原住民運動選擇之內在因素、外在因素與環境結構之因素做為主要之研究架構，訪談對象為大專院校棒球隊學生、棒球國手、職棒選手與棒球教練做為研究之樣本，共計十三名，並以開放式問卷進行深度訪談。本研究的目的有三：

一、探索原住民發展的社會背景，並且在棒球運動與原住民之間找尋

其相連結的關鍵點，藉此探討原住民所具有的內在以及外在因素

對於棒球運動選擇所造成的影響。

二、從社會流動的觀點，探視原住民的運動生涯，及其未來就業問

題。

三、探討政府與企業對於運動員的培訓與生涯發展之影響性。

本研究結果為:1.原住民能夠在棒球領域有如此傑出的表現，可歸因於台灣受日本殖民之歷史背景、原住民本身之運動天賦、生活環境型態與人際網絡的引導。2.主流社會不斷強化與複製對於原住民的負面刻板印象，造成原住民受到階級與族群的雙重壓迫，始得原住民深陷其中難以脫困。3.原住民將其一生投入棒球運動後，想要轉換跑道並非如此容易，政府與企業對於棒球選手之未來發展雖有所助益，但卻缺乏長程規劃，使得棒球選手在生涯規劃上面臨實質的困難。

Comparing with other sports, baseball sport has been highly developed in Taiwan mainly owing to the contribution of aborigines who play an extremely important role in baseball sport field. This thesis tries to find the relation between baseball movement and aborigines and furthermore to research the connection with baseball and external social culture.



In sports field, is it an advantage or an obstacle for aboriginal persons when it comes to their congenital physical conditions and social status? This study attempts to build a framework based on internal, external and environmental structural factors that affect the aborigines’ decision of sports and starts with detail interviews by using open-ended questionnaires with thirteen baseball players as samples including the college students on the school baseball team, the players in the national team, the professional baseball players and baseball coaches.





The purposes of the investigation are as following:

1. To explore the social background of aboriginal development and seek the key point

linking baseball sports and the aborigine.

2. From the viewpoint of social mobility to examine aborigines’ sport career and their

future.

3. To search the influence that the government and the enterprise have on the training

of players.



The results of the thesis are: 1. the aborigines can perform excellently in baseball field because of the historical background that Taiwan was settled by Japan, the aborigines with innate abilities for sports, the environment of their life and the guidance of interpersonal network. 2. The negative stereotype of the aborigine reinforced and copied by social majority makes aborigines oppressed doubly by social class and ethnic groups so that they are in deep water for the determination to be a baseball player and hardly can get rid of it. 3. It is not easy for aboriginal people to switch the occupation after devoting themselves to baseball movement. Although the government and the enterprise indeed bring benefits to the development of baseball players in the future, they lack of long-term scheme which causes the difficulty that baseball players meet when design their career plan.
