Can you smell that, drifting across the Pacific Ocean? It’s the smell of fresh baseball in the air—and some smoke.
Today is Opening Day for the Korea Baseball Organization, which means we’re finally getting closer to seeing high-level professional baseball. The four-team Chinese Professional Baseball League has already been playing and now the 10-team KBO, which regularly sends players to MLB, is in action. Hopefully soon we’ll have games in Japan and, eventually, MLB.
ESPN even reached a deal with the KBO to air games live six times per week because fans are that eager to see baseball.
