Beating Us at Our Own Game
Hats off to South Korea for her victory over the US in the World Baseball Classic: Baseball Is a Smash in Korea After Win Over the U.S.*
I remember in the Syndey Olympics, when an American beat a Korean to take home the gold in Taekwondo, a Korean announcer graciously said that rather than feeling disappointment, Koreans should be proud that a sport from their homeland had achieved such international popularity that a non-Korean could excel at it.
I'm not a huge baseball fan, but many of my favorite countries belong to the baseballosphere.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
