    World Baseball Classic and picking favorite KBO teams by personality

    Today on the show, we're helping new KBO fans pick a team to follow based on that fanbase's personality. There are clear differences and a team for anyone, depending on how serious you take the sport and whether you like being angry at other fans (Or your own team) and whether you like dancing. Also we'll talk about the World Baseball Classic and how Korea's performing in the tournament. They got out of pool play by the skin of their teeth which is always a fun experience for the fans, not so much for their blood pressure. GOTW: Korea's women's team vs Uzbekistan.
