Baseball Is Back In Taiwan, As CPBL Begins Play
Baseball Is Back In Taiwan, As CPBL Begins Play
The Chinatrust Brothers and Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions became the first pair of professional baseball teams to play a regular season game this year.
Two updates from the Chinese Professional Baseball League in less than a week? You betcha.
Not everyone is putting robots in the stands like the Rakuten Monkeys, but everyone is back to baseball in Taiwan, after opening day was delayed about a month.
The Chinatrust Brothers and the Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions became the first pair of professional teams in the world to roll out the ball for a regular season baseball game on Sunday — and it didn't take long for Kevin Cheng to add some fireworks.
Go Kevin! K.W.Cheng hits foul pole for the 1st Home Run of the world in 2020.

Even in empty stadiums, the CPBL is a sight for sore eyes, and it's opener did not leave us wanting for more drama. The Brothers and Uni-Lions went 11 innings over 4.5 hours of baseball before, ultimately, the Uni-Lions emerged with the 4-1 victory.
