Root, Root, Root, Root for Taipei...
Actually, we wound up sitting in the Tainan section because it was so close to game time when we arrived at the stadium, and the line for Tainan-side tickets was much shorter. Taipei won, 6 to 3.
Fans on both sides were enthusiastic. Tainan had a small brass band and a big drum that aided fan chants. People(me included)clapped noisemakers through every inning.
At one point I saw fans on the opposing (Taipei) side holding an American flag. Not sure why.
And Tainan's cheerleaders had a giant foursquare of American flags they waved from time to time. Tainan's team does have one American veteran minor leaguer, Rico Washington, on its team.
After the game both teams bowed to each other and to both fan sections. It was a good time, I want to go again.
