Baseball is one of the most popular sport in Korea. Even in campus, I often see many boys playing in the field! Koreans love baseball very much! A couple of weeks ago, I went to see baseball with my lecturer and my classmates. Without knowing what exactly baseball is, I decided to see how baseball game looks like in Korea =D

First time watching Baseball Match: Kia Tigers vs Lotte (Entrance fee: 8000 won ~ approx. RM24)

Kia Tigers (Wikipedia):
KIA Tigers Professional Baseball Club (Korean: 기아 타이거즈 프로야구단) is a Korean professional baseball team founded in 1982. The Tigers are a member team of the Korean Baseball Organization and the most successful team in Korean baseball having won the national championship, the Korean Series, ten times, with a perfect 10-0 series record and a 40-12-2 game record.

Lotte (Wikipedia):
The Lotte Giants (Korean: 롯데 자이언츠) are a professional baseball team based in Busan, South Korea and one of the original franchises of the Korea Baseball Organization league. The Lotte Giants are owned by the South-Korean Japanese Lotte conglomerate, which also owns the Chiba Lotte Marines of Nippon Professional Baseball. 


 The baseball field..


 My Roommate and I
2 Malaysian and 1 Chinese.

My English Lecturer and I.. He is from America! He is a responsible lecturer! =D

HOWEVER,
in the first time i went there, it was raining just after the game start.. and if they stop the match (because of rain) within the first 5 match, then you could use the ticket and exchange a new ticket in the next game! So, during the third game, they call off the game and we could enjoy another game!

so, the next game is on 15 May 2013.. I skipped class for this match! Oopss >.<

Second time: Kia Tigers (again) vs SK

SK (Wikipedia):
SK Wyverns Baseball Club (Hangul: 에스케이 와이번스 야구단) is a South Korean professional baseball team founded in 2000. Based in Incheon. They play their home games at Munhak Baseball Stadium.

By now, you may be asking why they have such names for their baseball team like Kia, Lotte, Sk..... etc.. Actually, these companies OWN the baseball team and support the team, therefore they named their baseball team exactly the same with their company's name.
