Baseball is back and we're talking about the forgotten but often amazing little league team system in South Korea! We'll talk about the beginnings thanks to the YMCA, how the Japanese stifled kids baseball progress, and how it recovered after the Korean War and how it really took in the 70s. Korea won the LLWS a few times but why doesn't the league talk about it?

GOTW: HL Anyang is in the finals and hosting the Red Eagles. KBO starts this Sunday at 2pm! Basketball winding down. Men's football against Cote d'Ivoire.

Today on the show, we're helping new KBO fans pick a team to follow based on that fanbase's personality. There are clear differences and a team for anyone, depending on how serious you take the sport and whether you like being angry at other fans (Or your own team) and whether you like dancing.
