Asian Baseball Championship
Discussion in the Baseball Asia forum
Asian Baseball Championship
I heard that Asian Baseball Championship will take place on fifth of Nov. in Sapporo, Japan. Only 2 teams out of Taiwan, Japan, and Korea can be qualified for next Olympic baseball games. Also, I heard they all gathered their pro-all-star players to win. Can I get some news about that written in English?

Check out Asia-Baseball.org. Pretty much all of the big name Asian baseball players are out there minus Hideki, Ichiro, other Japanese/Korean pitchers in the MLB on 40 man rosters, and Tsao of Taiwan.

I just saw Japan beat Korea 2-0 to win the Asian Championship. Congratulations on a great series.
Taiwan, with a 5-4 upset of Korea earlier, beat China for the other Olympic berth at stake.
Does this mean Korea is completely out? Or is there some sort of at-large berth they could get to still reach Athens?

Korea is out just like the U.S. is out of the Olympics next year. Very sad, because like the U.S., Korea is one of the top teams in the world. There needs to be some kind of wild card playoffs for those teams that don't finish in the top 2 of their qualifying tournament. Until pro baseball improves in Europe, I'm not really interested in seeing Europe's top 2 teams there rather than seeing the U.S. or Korea there.

Taiwan didn't upset South Korea. Remember they're the original silver medal winner back in Barcelona.
But it's a shame that only 2 teams from Asia/America get to play in the Olympics.
