Korean Baseball

What with Opening Day this week, it’s time to say a few words about the globalization of America’s National Pastime. I’ll say this for Koreans: they love their baseball. My first week, upon learning that I was American, several of the boys I teach asked if I had ever met Chan Ho Park. ...
