@LoganTheLionheart ha ha ha

hi~~~^^

I just like the fact that Santa Claus is there

@@cloudproud729 He taught at a local university in Busan. Now he retired and Lotte hired him so he could extend his visa in Korea.

try this shit in America and you're getting some chin music next at bat

@@3cs3hs get some chin music and the guy goes to the hospital and dies.. the pitcher goes to jail..

Well it's really the pitchers and their shallow egos lmao

Mellowyellow8888 uh no that doesn’t happen either

3cs3hs it’s different culture. It’s not even showing up the pitcher in Korea because they’re just flicking the bat away. In US it’s showing up the pitcher a lot of times.

Nice to hear! 👍

That's sweet

Thanks for the update

Now that is proper reciprocation for loyalty!

unfortunately he died due to complications from covid-19

RIP

oh my.....so sad news........

Wow came back to this video after many year, sad to hear this news. Happy that he left this world doing what he loved the most.

Lotte Grandfather Kerry I can't imagine Lotte without Kerry Maher. Please protect Lotte there, too. I hope you rest well.

Rest in peace

lotte giants :)

Go twins!

LG TWINSSSS

SK wyvens

We need more American Doosan Bear fans!

Gonna be a long scary ride. watch out for any...sick looking people...

mmmm going to take a train to fu**thatville

No big problems for Chinese. They will just eat their way through.

Or train to Seoul.

Busan is pretty lit, go down Texas street and you can buy all your fake sports jerseys you can get. They look close to the real thing.

that two words

Jack Critchley that’s two

woooosh

Jack Critchley lol mlb is kinda serious so I understand why people might not like baseball as much. Baseball IS VERY TRADITIONAL. Don’t watch female umpires, female commentators, no celebrations (until in dugout) no bat flips, etc

Oofer Doofer should’ve been a long time ago

wait who told you that

@@timdixon32 who told you that

Aryan Manohar told me what?

sounds awesome!

윤상이 I’d love to come to a game.. I’ll add SK to my list of places to go

Does every stadium let you grill your own food there?

We’re planning to go to Korea soon! Can I ask for help regarding watching a baseball game?

@@Kirsty12345ish you best guess is the Seoul sports complex since seoul has 4 teams . One of cashier speaks broken English and the prices are cheap af

sure I heard it. that GM of Lotte Giants is Sung Min Gyu. he had worked with Chicago Cubs in MLB as a scouting supervisor for 10 years.

So did he stay or what

@@tommymount5709 Yes he work for team now.

Bryce Walburn ooh thanks for that fact

If they follow your computation the KBO would just have 5 teams.

@ᄀᄌᄋ well perhaps country size should also be taken into consideration. Though that doesn’t change that Korea has a lot for their size and pop

Daniel K first off, I the league allows bat flips it is the players that don't allow it. If you try to make my pitcher look bad I'm gunna have his back. If you try to make my teammate look bad I'm gunna say something about it and I'm gunna take offense. 2nd off the NFL has only been getting harder on celebrations

so you're saying Korean players don't have their pitchers back? C'mon man. That's a horseshit argument. The pitchers are just pissed b/c they served a big fat one over the plate...but instead of manning up, they cry like girls and throw a fight over it

From Not So Downtown U got ur point. But isnt pro sports league all about fans? Who is sad because he hit homerun? Even if u dont flip the bat pitcher would be pissed hitter would be happy. Then why not just express some joy and share it with fans in stadium and make their highlight scene more exciting? Idk if major league has it but in highlight scene in Korea for homeruns especially if it was crucial one, they would review hitter hitting the ball and flipping his bat for like 2,3 times let alone just following where the ball went. I think it is just old fomal tradition mlb got and it is time to let it go. Especially when fans pay at least 3 times more to go to the ballpark than in Korea.

I only hate bat flips that involve Jose Bautista

Sure no problem if you don’t mind a little chin music

Enjoy Kbo games. Dude

Keren Ramos damn im jelly

Keren Ramos lucky

Keren Ramos what’s ur insta

BOOOPPER DOOOPPER so many weirdos on RU-vid

Frosty there’s a misconception about korea that soccer is their preferred sport.partly because of heu ming son he’s one of the best soccer players in the world and his popularity has attracted more korean fans to soccer.

actually, 1. National Football 2. Baseball 3. E sports (LOL & Starcraft) 4. Football 5. Volleyball 6. Basketball

I V right !!

1. EPL 2. Korean baseball League 3. MLB 999. Korean Football(Soccer) League

Basketball?

less than an hour to go!

+ Korean BBQ

lol

Woojong with the Word god i love baseball

yes! As a Korean, I can say that many Koreans love baseball more!

Woojong with the Word I'm actually Korean and I think baseball is so damn boring. I'm a soccer and basketball fan. What a disgrace. Baseball was never more popular when I was growing up. My family is from busan and nobody in my family cares about baseball. We only care about the World Cup soccer

Well yeah it's alot of fun to watch

10/10 IGN

you had me at 'cheap beers and fried chicken'! jk...glad you experienced the game in that atmosphere.

@ Dodger stadium $16 for one Beer in 2015 😡 now I bet around $20.

I agree with you. Look at some of the videos of the series with the Toronto Blue Jays when Bautista flipped the bat after a homerun. The crowd in the stadium went nuts and even the views on the tube are insane. I think pitchers should just get over-themselves when batters flip the bat or stare at a HR too long.

If I were a owner for a small market team with struggling attendance but a loyal fan base, I would want to try this. It probably wouldn't work in a big market team though.

This is one of the major reasons why baseball is losing popularity in the US sadly

@@C-Lightning Batflips are why baseball is losing popularity? What an ignorant statement. Longer games with more ads and a lack of a single player being able to affect the game as much so you can follow a storyline is why it's losing popularity. It's why ticket prices shoot up when star players come to town in the NFL and NBA, but Mike Trout bats once every 9 times, and the best pitchers only pitch every 5 games. The stories stem from the teams and not the players, which for some reason put people off. If batflips make you want to watch the game, you honestly shouldn't be a fan.

@@Alexander_Grant "lack of a single player that can affect a game", I don't know what baseball league you have neen watching. I watch the MLB, guys like Madison Bumgarner, Mookie Betts, Max Scherzer, and Aaron Judge, those players can affect a baseball game and can at times, change the momentum of a game. The fact that you said that players only pitch once every five games or, bat once for every nine innings is, an over exaggeration. I am a fan of the MLB, and it's vanilla personalities such as yourself that, gets their feelings hurt or offended when, a soft ass tradition is 'violated' when a player like Jose Bautista does a single bat flip while hitting a HR. You ever wonder why leagues like the NFL, NBA or, NHL gather popularity? It's because in those sports, a player can showboat during a significant play. Which in a result, can help bring in popularity to each of those leagues and inspire people to play in each said leagues. In the MLB though, no player on the offense cannot showboat during a significant play because, it 'disrespects' the game. The result of this is that, causul folks will continue to see this game as boring as a game of golf. This is what hampers the popularity of the MLB and not long ads or expensive ticket prices or not having enough popular players. This video here is example of why baseball is still popular, it's more lively and expressive than the MLB. Hell, just look at the Venezuela baseball league, players showboat and brings fans into the game. Don't be judging me for not being a real fan of baseball. Get with the times!

Kenobi Obi-wan NEXEN FOR THE WIN

Hope not

Kenobi Obi-wan Whoever says SKorea is not good at baseball doesn't know what their talking about. They've won the gold at the olympics and consistently goes to the playoffs in the WBC. South Korean baseball is top world class.

Kia Fighting!

supykun I cannot agree with you more. KBO needs to be renovated

DaeguDave1 Lions for life

Ned Gold I agree

The contract official appeared!!!!

First games start in less than 45 min (as of this comment).

It truly is my man, get deep with the Giants with me buddy as we might make a huge sensation this year

Not to mention another baseball team and other professional teams near by just outside of the city. It's like saying Boston doesn't have a football team because NE patriots are in Foxborough, not in Boston.

Busan is the second largest metro city in S.Korea. So it's natural. 부산은 한국에서 두번째로 큰 대도시에요~ 당연하죠~

For example, seoul has 3 franchise teams. Bears. Heroes and Twins.

Welcome to Korea. Seoul . Busan and other lovely cities.

and watch👉 train to Busan 😆

Good to see a friendly face around here ㅋㅋ

Jason Withers it’s a baseball atmosphere.

They must’ve had a better cheer master :)

I've been to Sajik a couple of times and it is not very big. It's only slightly larger than a triple A stadium. It's tiny compared to any MLB stadium. Also, they are only showing games during the weekends. The stadium is nearly empty during weekdays because most Koreans have insane working hours. Beer's cheap as fuck though.

I agree in the sense that MLB needs to add to the overall fan experience. I like baseball...love baseball and don't care either way. But for casual and newer fans this type of atmosphere could keep them watching and get their butts into stadium seats. MLB is only killing the sport if they let the traditionalist call the shots.

Due to the capacity of the stadium. The capacity of Sajik Baseball Stadium(Stadium which you looked at this video) 25,000 people. But that of MLBs is 30,000~50,000. So MLB game is hard to accomplish sold out game.
