@spazmo,
How’s that for a small world?! What a great article. I read the whole thing and enjoyed it. I don’t know much about baseball, so I’m glad I read it. It sounds as if the writer and photog had interesting travels in ROK. After watching STOVE LEAGUE when it aired, I appreciated seeing the bat flip videos, which left me agog. 😉

I had no idea what a “bat flip” is. Looks dangerous, but in some cases, incredibly artistic. Fan service indeed.

@spazmo,
Six degrees of Kdrama/DramaBeans separation. LOL!
I suspected that with a name like Mina, she might just be Korean. 😉
