Where to buy baseball merch?

Not sure if this is the correct sub to ask, please point me to a right one if it isn’t!

I’ll be in Seoul from 8-17 Nov. Since it’s off season for baseball, I’m wondering if there’s any store selling baseball merch elsewhere?

Bonus if it’s Monsters (a clean sweep) merch, but any other KBO league teams are great too! TIA.

People interested in games for next year?

I am a Korean (40f) living in Seoul (although half my life was spent abroad). Wondering if there are people interested in going to games together next year. I am a Lions fan myself but I just love going to games and wanted to spend some weekends visiting all the stadiums. Could also help visitors coming to Korea get tickets if I am going same day. I know it's still super early since season justtttttt ended but still wanted to check.

Help tracking down SK Wyverns Merrill Kelly merch?

Any experts know where I should be hunting for maybe an embroidered jersey or similar?

Have recently discovered that my Korean wife’s favourite Dback (my team) used to not only play in Korea, but also WENT TO HER HIGH SCHOOL?

So I’m trying to find a jersey with the Korean name/number on the back ahead of the holiday season (size L/XL please but beggars/choosers)

Off day in the Korean Series, My attempt at MLB Comparisons

It’s not perfect and I made some stretches, but did what I could.

Feel free to add suggestions or make corrections.

Also, no hate intended towards any teams, just something light hearted I put together for my friend hoping to get into KBO.

Where to buy tickets?

I’ve been looking everywhere for 2 tickets to the Korean Series (doesn’t matter which game). Does anyone know where to buy them?

P.S. Ticketbay no longer works.

Korea trip March/April next year - advice

Hi, I'm in the early stages of planning a trip to Korea and Japan next March/April and I'm looking for some baseball related advice. I'm going to play completely dumb here.

I am looking to come for about a week with an eye on the 29th/30th March weekend for sure.

Which stadiums are worth visiting? How is the process getting tickets? I live in Taiwan and aside from the post season games rarely sell out, I'm actually a die hard Uni Lions fan and will likely be missing my first weekend home game for 7 years to do this trip.

I'm excited to do some baseball and hopefully as much as possible! I haven't been to a game outside Taiwan and I'm looking to do a game a night - like Taiwan I know Monday is the off day.

Cheers!

How do I get tickets to the next series

Lifelong baseball fan here and lover of KBO here. I am absolutely dying to go to a game when I am in Seoul Oct 18-25. I have been looking all over the internet trying to figure out how to go about getting tickets and all I’ve found are links to scammy sites that don’t seem legit.

When do they go on sale? Or have they already? Are there legitimate resale sites? Should I ask a friend in Korea for help? Money isn’t no object but willing to pay more if I need to. Thanks in advance for helping make my dream come true 🤩

1988 Seoul Olympic men’s baseball team autographed softball value?

I purchased this at an estate sale 5 years ago and I am having trouble locating the best place to sell this ball? Is it a nice collectors piece?

It would appear that the entire (21 person) 1988 South Korean team signed the ball. I do not know about any notable players or coaches, but I am certain there is a collector who would like to have this.

Help with purchasing Twins vs Wiz tickets for tonight

I'm an American baseball fan traveling in Seoul and would love to go to the Wiz vs Twins game tonight. From reading past posts on this sub, I understand the difficulty of buying tickets online with a foreign phone number and banking information and have encountered all of theses issues in my own failed attempts to find tickets.

I'm asking if anyone here either has extra tickets, tickets to sell or wouldn't mind purchasing tickets on my behalf. I'm looking for 2 tickets ideally, but would accept 1 also. If you can help me out, I would gladly compensate with cash, buying your ticket or getting drinks/snacks inside the stadium.

TIA for the help!

Side note: Is there any chance of scoring some tickets at the box office today?

Vintage Korean baseball posters

Hi all, so after a few years in Seoul I became quite a bit of the LG twins fan. I was wondering if you knew a website or an artist that do vintage style posters on korean baseball. Actually any cool poster design would do but I prefer something vintage looking

I've seen a few for the Japanese league, but not for korea.

Questions about stadium and fan allocations while watching KT vs LG?

So I got confused today watching the replay this morning because every website and MyKBO app said the game is in Suwon KT Wiz Park, but all the fans behind the plate on TV were wearing Twins gear.

Then the Twins hit a home run and it looks like the whole side of the stadium is Twins fans and they even shoot smoke out of the top of the Twins dugout.

I thought maybe I’m watching the wrong game and this is one of the first games where the Twins were the home team, but sure enough KT is batting in the bottom of the inning.

Is this normal for KBO games? Do they allocate a lot of away fan tickets? Does every stadium have flair for opposing team home runs? Are the Twins just a popular team with great fan support and the Wiz don’t have as rabid a fan base?

Thank you for any info on this.

In Hopes of Kia Tigers' 12th Championship Victory

The legendary Kia Tigers player, Jiwan Na, hit a walk-off grand slam in the final game of the 2009 Korean Series, earning the Korean Series MVP title. That glorious moment was recreated on October 7, 2022, during his retirement ceremony. Despite the 13-year gap, fans cheered for him passionately, as if they had returned to that day. Thankfully, Kia Tigers have made it to the Korean Series again in 2024. I hope them to write another incredible story, just like in 2009. Let’s go Tigers! Let’s go Doyoung Kim!
