Like a woman finding out what a vibrator is for the first time.

Past simple

The World Baseball Classic has opened an entirely new beautiful world I didn't know existed before.

I now know what Christopher Columbus felt like now that I've discovered baseball in Taiwan.

The last World Baseball Classic was when I found out how big baseball is there.

But even then, it was never really hit as it ever has until now.

Well, literally, they're playing these games in Japan, but Japan is obviously king internationally.

The money that Daddy, I mean, Shohei Ohtani alone brings to Major League Baseball is absurd, let alone that whole market.

But Taiwan or Chinese Taipei, whatever that even means is freaking awesome.

And their game against Korea was pure cinema.

Quentin Tarantino over in Israel could only dream of making something this cool.

And I do deserve shaming, by the way, for the way I treated Taiwan two days ago.

And that was after losing three nothing to the Aussies.

The world will recognize you for the pitiful disappointment you are.

Apparently that Aussies deserve more respect than I gave them to.

But Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan immediately made Chris Brown look like a humanitarian.

But then again, that's the Czech Republic.

But next up was Korea, a team that just took Japan.

That same team that beat Taiwan, 13 nothing.

Well, Korea had them sweating, so this didn't seem like a good ending in the making for Taiwan.

Chang is the captain of this team, by the way.

He's one of just 18 Taiwanese players to make it to the big leagues ever.

So he's like the, I don't know, Kobe Bryant of Taiwan.

But that was it for a while for both sides because the pitching was doing well.

Shout out Hanjin Ryu for Korea Dodger legend.

He hasn't pitched in the big leagues in three years and he's 38 now.

Other than that homer, Taiwan was about to get some more runs in the Third.

But Stuart Fairchild, the American, of course, has to ruin everything.

Now, like I was saying in my last video, these teams are so funny.

You have a team full of the most Chinese, Taiwanese names you've ever heard.

Team Korea has a bunch of Kim's, parks Lee's.

Taiwan gets two outs, but Korea does tie the game.

Wei and Lynn, this guy's just 20 years old.

So even though this game was in Japan, over 40, 000 Taiwan fans have been going to these games in Tokyo.

They even had a whole band playing like it was the SpongeBob Super bowl halftime show.

In the bottom of the inning, Hang Kim strikes out.

Things are going really well, which is when Korea said, checkmate.

We have the classic Korean double Kim combo.

He smacked this like he imagined it was Kim Jong Un's head.

Taiwan then got a couple of guys on base in the seventh.

And that's when Korea pulled their other trump card out.

So they bring him out again for the eighth.

Then Chang bunts him over second before Chen hits one right to K.

This could be their last shot to at least tie the game.

Last time he was up in a situation like this, he struck out.

Well, this time, Chinese Taipei gotta shout out.
