 “Choo-Choo!” Can you hear that sound? It is thousands of baseball
fans cheering Cincinnati Reds center-fielder Shin-soo Choo. He and Hyun-Jin Ryu are
Korean baseball players who have successfully reached a
peaks in Major League Baseball (MLB).
The MLB is one of the most
competitive and diverse leagues in the world today. Players from Asia,
Europe, Canada, and many other countries come to play professional baseball in North America.
 The KBO is a league comprised of nine teams with players
from all over the world. Players from the KBO also leave to play all around the
globe as well. In addition to the smaller amount of teams in the KBO, another difference between the two leagues is the travel
time between games.
Korean teams only travel short distances for
away games, while
teams in the MLB usually have to travel for hours to play their opponents. Go team! KBO and Korean baseball players are
trying hard around the
world! |
