#45--China v. Korea, 3/3/2006 (World Baseball Classic)


This was the first World Baseball Classic game I had the opportunity to score (this was on the second day of the tournament); it was actually played on March 4 but I put it down as March 3 as the time zone situation slipped my mind.

It was no contest as Korea pounded China. Seung Yeop Lee continued his WBC of terror by going 4-4 with two homers and five RBI.

I don't mean to sound flippant at all, but it is a real pain to write down the lineup for a 100% Korean team. There were five Lees, three Kims, and two Parks. I think next time I might try using first names. Westerners reverse the Korean naming convention, but there's something to be said for Park Chan-ho.
