10/30 Amateur Baseball League

Talk about Amateur Baseball League in Korea.

With the popularity of baseball in Korea, there are more and more people who actually play baseball as well. There are several amateur baseball leagues and hundreds of teams. Teams have their own team names ad logos. They have theirs uniforms, gloves, bats, and other baseball equipment. These amateur players come from all walks of life. Most of the games they play are recreational, but some players are pretty serious about their games. I used to be on a team myself several years ago. Once the season kicked off, we would have games every other weekend. I developed a strong bond with my teammates and we still keep in touch.
