blah blah blah. This is so ridiculous. How many South Korean players actually play in the MLB? One! Choo Shin-Soo of the Indians. (There are more in the minors, see here, and here). If Korean baseball wants to start keeping home-grown talent, maybe they should consider changing the logos on their hats, which are for the most part atrocious. It would be nice to not have to relive the previous year’s World Series every time I go to Seoul. 

P.S. I wonder how many South Koreans bought Tiger’s hats after Lee Myung Bak visited Detroit?  :P

The Korea Baseball Organization has lodged a protest with Major League Baseball over the Baltimore Orioles’ signing of South Korean pitching prospect Kim Seong-min, a sophomore at Daegu Sangwon High School. “We only have 50 high school teams and taking promising players away like this makes it very hard for Korean baseball to stay strong,” KBO operations manager Michael Park told Reuters.
