It sounds as if the MLB All-Stars who played in the MLB-Taiwan All-Star Game just crushed the opposition. Back in January 2010, I made the case for the Angels to start paying attention to the Taiwan market. When the Halos signed Joel Piñeiro, I wanted them to pursue Chien-Ming Wang (glad I'm not the GM.) Not just because of what I thought Wang could offer the rotation (which wasn't much), but because Wang was/is revered in his native Taiwan. Taiwan loves baseball. And this group of MLB Players going to Taiwan is great for developing the sport, getting more fans interested. I'm not sure how being crushed by the superior league of All-Stars helps... but it certainly brings a greater awareness.
And if you're like me... going through some baseball withdraws, you can watch the full games of the MLB-Taiwain series, on MLB's website with a valid MLB.TV account.

Taiwan is not only a place to visit because of their great spots and hotels but, it's also a place where most of the athletes are performing and playing their games. I've been in Taiwan once and I love the cleanliness of the place.

I just booked some cheap tickets to Manila and Taiwan for a vacation trip next month. I am so excited to see what Philippines and Taiwan can offer.
