First Ever Japanese Game in Taiwan

Discussion in the Baseball Asia forum

NEW JAPANESE PROFESSIONAL GAME IN TAIWAN RECORD - Taipei - 5/14/2002 – Daiei Hawks vs. Orix Blue Wave.

Does anyone know the stadium, final score, attendance, time of game, and league (Central or Pacific) for this first-ever regular season Japanese game in Taiwan?

Has a regular season Japanese major league game ever been played elsewhere outside of Japan other than in Taiwan? In Korea? In China? In Saipan? On Guam? On any other Pacific island?

Please let me know via e-mail at plowry1176@aol.com if you know so I can update the records. Thank you.

Finally, a request within the time frame that I have data for.

Daiei and Orix (both in the Pacific League) played a two game series in Taipei (Taipei Stadium) on May 14-15, 2002. Daiei was the home team for both games.

Game 1: Orix 4 - 5 Daiei, 11,000 in attendance, game started at 17:51 and took 3 hours 8 minutes.

Game 2: Orix 8 - 7 Daiei, 12,000 in attendance, game started at 17:45 and took 3 hours 37 minutes (with a 2 minute suspension - not sure why).

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
