Japanese Baseball: Wow; Korean Baseball: WOW!!

Mister Americano loves baseball. Having season tickets for San Diego Padres games he sees a lot of major league baseball. But the best baseball he's seen recently wasn't played by Americans; it was played by the Koreans and the Japanese.

Tonight's victory by Korea over Japan was a great baseball game. The two teams play with respect for the game. They play the fundamentals right. They make few mistakes. They have great pitching.

Baseball may have been one of America's gifts to the world. But the way Korea and Japan play the game is a gift to baseball.
