Here's something new to love about Korea
The Doosan Bears
A little explanation:
The baseball teams here aren't named after cities. Instead they are named after a few massive family corporations that manufacture (and probably run) everything here: LG, Lotte, Hyundai, Kia, Samsung, etc. Our local stadium is at the Jamsil Sports Complex, and is the home field for the two Seoul Based teams - the LG Twins and the Doosan Bears. LG made our washing machine, which has been the nightmare that lives on our porch. Doosan, on the other hand, makes Majuang Riesling, a good wine that you can get for $7 at any grocery store. So, our choice was clear. Last night we went to our first game, sat under the smog obscured stars and watched Doosan embarrass LG 12-1. Nice.
