Softball

Many of my weekends in Korea are spent playing softball.  Softball is not played in Korea, unless you play it with the different teams of foreigners in different cities throughout this country.  This past week, three teams, one from Daegu, Busan and Pohang played their 2nd round of the Silla Tournament.  This tournament is a three round series with the best team at the end winning the Kimichi Pot Trophy.  I am playing for the Pohang team and we were 1-1, as we lost to Daegu and then beat Busan.  It was a lot of fun and we had some beautiful weather.  Here are some pictures of my team and from the games this weekend.

  7. Softball is like baseball, but uses a bigger ball and the pitches are thrown much slower (underhand). It's a very social game that both men and women play. If you want to play, reserve the school soccer field and get about 15-20 friends and I can come down and teach everyone to play. All you need is some baseball gloves. I can get all the other equipment to play. Plus I can get other foreign teachers to come down and play with us.
