For the past two weeks we've been in Taiwan visiting my Grandparents. Of course while we were there we had to go check out some baseball and luckily there was a game in Taipei while we were there. Here are the highlights from that game between the Brother Elephants and La New Bears. Of course the Brother Elephants are our new favorite CPBL baseball team.
I just can't get over the name "La New Bears". I know that most Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese sports teams are named for the companies that own them, rather than the cities they play in. So I'm guessing that "Brother" is a company that owns the Elephants. But "La New"? What is that? Or is the company just "La"? Or is this an attempt to sound French? Whatever it is, I love it.
