all the sports to choose from in South Korea like kids growing up in this country do.

And it seriously was a good sign seeing an all-black team in the finals - maybe other black kids will see that baseball is still a game worth pursuing instead of just basketball and football like it's become now.

huh?

baseball is not really that popular in South Korea. It;s behind soccer, martial arts and other types of sports

Is major league ball better than it once was? It might be, but I think not.

Call me old school. I'm not impressed with all the glamour/travel/moneymaking ball teams in many sports. I don't think I know a kid playing any kind of ball who isn't on some sort of fancy pants travel team.

I like LL baseball. And the international squads have been very good to dominant for decades.

e-sports is a real thing and it's growing


Aug 25, 2014, 3:13 AM [ in reply to Short track speed skating and e-sports. ]

it's only going to get bigger. ESPN3 broadcasted part of a tournament a month or so a go in which the winning team of 5 players won 4 million. There's even leagues in the US where people make real salaries competing on a weekly basis.

Not entirely right

Baseball is probably the second most popular sport in South Korea behind soccer. And if they keep producing good baseball players while languishing in soccer, I wouldn't be surprised to see it become the most popular sport there.

baseball is actually the second most popular sport in SK***

Get used to it. It is not a talent issue. The good American kids are playing travel ball not LL. There are probably 20+ teams in Ga/Sc that could have beaten any of those teams. As for the all black teams, that was covered yesterday. Cheaper for them to start LL programs in underserved areas, so you can expect more of that as suburban areas move away from LL because of fees. ont have any stats on fees but a tnetter went into the specifics yesterday.
