I finally made it to my first baseball game of the season. I can't believe that I waited this long to go but at least I waited for a good one. Tonight the Lotte Giants came in town to play the Doosan Bears. These teams are two of the top teams in the league and with playoff time right around the corner it made for an exciting atmosphere.
It was like American football meets European soccer meets baseball. There are hundreds of vendors selling tallboys outside the stadium and its b.y.o.b at these games which is awesome. There are cheerleaders shaking their pom poms all around and the crowd is constantly singing and chanting nonsense at the opposing teams fans. Its perfect, I didn't even know who I was pulling for until the third inning but I didn't care cause the beers were cold and the chants were inviting. To anyone back home that thinks baseball is a slow moving boring sport with a lot of down time has never seen Korean baseball. I look forward to the playoffs and hopefully Doosan will make a run at the SHIP.
