"To see the world, things dangerous to come, to see behind walls, to draw closer, to find each other, to feel. That is the purpose of life."

Professional Baseball

I love baseball. I love staring at statistics. I am one of the few females who plays fantasy baseball. I love attending baseball games. Before I even moved to America (and had a goal of visiting all the different baseball parks in America), I attended different professional baseball games in Asia.

Here’s a guide to fellow baseball fans, who want to attend baseball games, or get baseball cards in the world.

Japan

I watched a Japanese professional baseball team years ago, and used Japan Baseball and Sumo for schedule information. I got my tickets at the stadium’s ticket counter on the day of, but I found their schedule information very useful.

Taiwan

Taiwan currently has four professional baseball teams, and they have games spread across Taiwan. Interestingly, there are more ballparks than there are professional teams, and it is possible for two teams to play at a park, which is neither team’s home park.

For more information, read Taiwanese Professional Baseball.
