Anyone know when it starts?? How much are tickets? Where to find a site that shows the schedule (in English, if there is one). Can I sit anywhere I want? Are people into this? I'm a huge baseball fan and am really excited for this experience.

While we're on the subject, do they play American baseball games over here? Are they on live or are they delayed? Do they play random games or focus on certain teams or divisions (I know Chan Ho Park is on the Dodgers now... not sure if there are any other Koreans in the majors these days)? What channel can I find this stuff on?

the season starts in April
tickets are usually 3-7,000
Well...if you live in a city where there is a team google it....they have websites and there should be English (the Samsung Lions site does).
you can sit anywhere (I think).
The games I've been to...people get into it(unless the team sucks, perhaps).

Part deux...they usually show 2 games most days (live) they will focus on teams with Korean players (or ones that are pitching that day) or west coast teams, as the 2nd game. ....they show a lot of yankees games I find....either kbs sports or sbs sports I believe[/b]

If you wanna know about K Baseball, I am your man.

The season starts next saturday. I am going on the 30th to Incheon. It will be SK vs LG.

Tickets are between 5,000-10,000. 10,000 is weekend price. The price can be a bit different for each stadium. Jamsil is the most expensive.

If you come late, you can get it for half price, or if you wish to sit in the outfield, tickets are a fair bit cheaper.

Woori Heroes are the old defunct Hyundai Unicorns.

Woori plays out of Mokdong Stadium. Omokgyo station Ext.3 you'll see it off in the distance straight ahead of you when you come out. takes about 10 min walking from the station..
