Baseball Game

And so I write another sports post.  As many of you may know (because we made a big deal out of it when we were leaving for Korea) but the baseball team here in Busan is also called the Giants.  Go Giants!  Fun.  Turns out the logo is very similar and the colors are also orange and black.  However, there are many quirky differences helping to remind us we're in a different country.

The bat girls wear adorable pink helmets.

Whenever a pitching change happens, the new pitcher is driven out in a convertible.


And possibly most striking, instead of a 7th inning stretch, we have a 7th inning, "Wear the plastic bag on your head for the rest of the game."

The whole stadium wearing plastic bags on their heads.

Not going to lie, it took us a little while to figure out how to do it properly.

What better way to celebrate your birthday than with orange plastic bags on your head.  Happy birthday John!

  1. I gotta say that's the funniest tradition I've ever seen in baseball. But you really pull it off well. Go Giants!
