We passed it yesterday, the D50 before the exhibition games. I can't wait to get to see games again. To be honest, I am dreading it quite a lot for a few reasons. There are reasons I chose Korean baseball over western baseball. One of the reason is the active participation of the crowd to the atmosphere in the stadium. This year, they have brought up bunch of truely stupid rules in stadium, that are taking away most of the priviledges I felt Korea had over America. No food from outside, no alcohol from outside, no water bottle spraying after a victory, interdiction to bring noise-makers, which also applies, I guess - and was probably intended - to stop Ted from playing the trumpets to cheer for the players when the Nexen cheerleaders were not there. Bunch of stupid frustrating stuff.
If it keeps going, they might stop the cheering?
In which case, that would be the end of me attending games as well.
I feel really negative about the issue, before it has even started, but I am really not looking forward to the frustrations those rules will give me.
I am also not looking forward to see the short-stop position filled with another player that Jeongho Kang. He was, as anyone who cares a little about Korean baseball would know, scouted by an American pro baseball team. And will be playing for the pirates starting this spring. I'm happy I went for his picture last year, so I got a picture in his Nexen uniform.
That being said, I can't wait to see more games. The exhibition games are usually hard to stand at, since the weather is still quite cold. However, I like the atmoshpere of the first games of the season, as players are as happy to start to warm up for th season, and games are fun to watch.
Annnnd.
I will miss most of the 2015 season :(
I will be out of Korea form April to September, and thus will only see the exhibition games, and the post-season. So Nexen better get their bums over to that side of the year for me to see! ^^
