Taiwan Spring Training 2010

by elsid on Jan 22, 2010 2:28 PM PST

Anyone planning on heading over with the Dodgers to Taiwan for a few days in Spring Training? Wasn't sure how many knew about it and/or planning on going. Looks like they will be there for a few days, with a couple of days to mainly get adjusted. However, they will be playing two days, March 13th and 14th. I am not sure who they are playing as of yet, though I don't think any other MLB teams are headed over. As soon as I know, I will pass more info along.

It looks like the Dodgers will be playing the Chinese Professional Baseball League All-Stars:

The visiting team will feature Manager Joe Torre and the team’s two Taiwan native players, left-handed reliever Kuo Hong-chih and infielder Hu Chin-lung. The final roster of the visiting Dodgers will not be announced until the end of February, however

Tickets range from $15 to $156

Will xeifrank take the Taiwan News to task for using the Wade-Giles Romanization system?

No, because they pronounce it “G”.

I am not trying to defend Wade-Giles....

just take it easy, Kuo can always change his romanized name if he wants to.

Wade-Giles / Pinyin is the source of a long-running joke involving Xeifrank. This is all in good fun. Did you see our “yi èr” joke in the comments on another thread yesterday? (Yes, I know some people are very sensitive about Pinyin vs. Wade-Giles.)

My guess

is that we are the only two that got that joke. :)

Then it was entirely worth it.

Ah, ok...

GS is going as well, or at least he has asked to. The team said ok.

Sweet. It sounds like a fun trip.

I do have an uncle currently living in Taipei so my lodging would be free…hmmmm…airfare is probably deadly though.

Would love to go...

but am saving up for my next trip to the mainland. I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Taiwan and enjoyed it. The people are very friendly, food is good, weather sucks, but it does have one of the world’s best museums, that often flies under the radar.
