Has anyone ever caught live pro game outside of the US?

Padreman · 12-07-2013, 02:18 PM

With many pro leagues have any if you ever caught a game somewhere outside the US? What teams and league was it?

Tijuana Toros vs Ensenada Marineros in Tijuana Mexico the Northern Sonora League I think it's called

Toros del Este vs Leones de Escodigo in Santo Domingo Dominican Republic the Dominican Winter League

Mexicali Aguilas vs Hermosillo Naranjeros in Mexicali, Mexico the Mexican Pacific League
And finally
Sydney Blue sox vs Perth Heat in Sydney NSW Australia the Australia Baseball League

When ever my wife and I travel I always make sure if two things if they have baseball travel during their season and catch a game and I always check out their local
Zoo those are a must for me.

I have when I was young. Went to Seibu Lions Stadium while my father was stationed in Japan.

That's my next stop I hope we are trying to Tokyo this year but it's expensive, I would love to catch a game there in Japan

When I was 5 I helped my mom Scorekeep the Saskatoon Legends games so I got to watch Canadian Baseball League games

You should, it is a very unique experience.

Any Toronto Blue Jays game!

I went to an Expos game at the old Olympic Stadium in, I think, 2001. They played the Cubs. Forget who pitched for the Expos, but if memory serves, Kevin Tapani pitched for the Cubs.

EDIT: April 10, 2001. Tony Armas Jr. (remember him?) pitched for Montreal. Tim Raines pinch hit for the Expos...

I have been to plenty of the now three-time KBO champions Samsung Lions games. I have been to a few Doosan Bears and LG Twins games in Jamsil Stadium in Seoul when I lived there in 2007/2008, too.

I've seen a number of Chinese Professional Baseball League games when I lived in Taiwan. The Taiwanese baseball experience is a lot different than the American version. Still, it's pretty fun.

Swiss professional hockey league games are loads of fun.

Every home game during the summer that I can.

I'd guess it was an interesting year.

Yakult wasn't so great, but at least you surely must've caught a bunch of Balentien HR's?

Well Haven't been to North America but I played in the British Baseball League, so attended some games.

Also watched some KHL (Russian Ice Hockey) in Riga, Latvia. Dinamo Riga v Atlant Moscow Region - amazing!

My GF really wants to go to Japan or South Korea at some point so I'm quite happy about that, for baseball-ing reasons

I went to an Expos vs. Houston game in 2004, their last season in Montreal. It was Roger Clemons last start in Montreal, and there were a lot of Red Sox fans in attendance.

Last month, I had an opportunity to go to a Sydney Blue Sox game versus the Perth Heat in Sydney. My older sister is an expat, has lived in Australia for 20 years and my oldest niece got married over Thanksgiving weekend. It was a great experience, the fans were really into the game and a lot of gear was sold. I even bought myself a Blue Sox hat. Perth won 1-0 btw.
