No, I do not believe it is due to ethnicity. Koreans generally think otherwise however. TOM, please, please, please explain why the Korean national team couldn't even beat the Padre's and Dodgers in 2006. Give me a break. I mean the Padres and Dodgers, come off of it. Expalin that one TOM. Tom, put your, superior to any other, SNU education to use and actually do some research about what steriods are used for in sports (other than bodybuilding) and what they do because you have no idea. Can't wait to hear what you have to say. You also might try researching Specificity Hypothesis TOM. Please don't depend on your senior's anecdotal information. One more thing, look at the fact that most Asian players go to the MLB and fail, or fail to be better than all the hype about them. Congrats to Japan for slaughtering Korea. That has made my week. Japan is awesome. No, non-Asian players are far superior to most Asian players, not all, but most asian players. No, I do not believe it is due to ethnicity.

I think it is a much bigger deal for some of the other national teams.

For the Asians, it's a pretty big deal and the progress of the teams are front page news. For America, a lot of media outlets don't even cover it, and it certainly takes a backseat to college basketball finals. This has to have an effect on how the players prepare themselves for the game and work hard to come together as a team. Another factor is how much the players get into the game.

I had to laugh though when the Korean fans held up Dokdo signs and people in the airport were wondering who the heck Dokdo is? Comment left via Kindle.

Because all they do these days is cheat by pumping themselves up with steroids and hitting for downtown. Playing station to station baseball relying on home runs will never beat Asian total baseball :lol: US based teams should re-learn how to bunt, pitch, steal bases, sacrifice, hit and run, and move runners up.
