Woori Heroes vs. LG Twins

My first Korean Baseball game was quite an experience. Despite the LG Twins losing to the Woori Heroes, it was a good game. What was more intriguing was all the other stuff… and here are some of the highlights:

1. Fans aren’t afraid to put up umbrellas in the stands even if people can’t see behind them.
2. They have a “7th inning stretch” between the 5th and 6th inning and they did the “kiss me” camera which is something I was used to seeing
3. You can sit 2 rows behind home plate for about $8.00
4. Buying a bag of dried Squid is like getting a box of crackerjacks in the states (I sampled it and it wasn’t my favorite but I figured it’s safer to try it dried than fresh)
5. Each team has cheerleaders and a guy who gets the crowd motivated by using a whistle or a microphone.
6. The LG Twins fans are way better despite the fact that they are in last place (8 teams in the league)
7. When the Woori Heroes hit a homerun, the mascot lays out a red carpet (literally).
8. The ball/bat boy stores his balls in a nice wicker basket
