Baseball Game in Seoul

23 05 2010

My ticket to the game!

Baseball games in Korea are much more fun than soccer games. Koreans love their baseball. There’s four baseball games everyday except for Mondays, only one or two of the games are in Seoul. I went to the the LG Twins (Seoul) vs the Lotte Giants (Busan). The ticket costs 7,000 won for a seat in the outfield. It was still a pretty good view. Baseball games here aren’t like the ones in the U.S. in terms of the crowd. They have cheerleaders and performances to pump up the crowd. It’s quite strange that when one of their batter is up, they shout and scream the whole time, not letting them concentrate. Just like soccer, the baseball teams are owned by huge conglomerates/monopolies and they have their company names in the team name to prove it. Take a look at the names:

Team/City

Doosan Bears/Seoul

Hanwha Eagles/Daejeon

Kia Tigers/Gwanju

Lotte Giants/Busan

LG Twins/Seoul

Samsung Lions/Daegu

SK Wyverns/Incheon

Nexen Heroes/Seoul
