棒球熱
Just as it is in Japan, baseball is also Taiwan’s national sport. Diehard fans live and breathe the success or failure of the national team in the World Baseball Classic tournament. When Taiwanese stars take the field in the MLB, fans across Taiwan tune in. Pitcher Wang Chien-ming was so popular during the height of his career with the New York Yankees that he probably could have run for president. The first baseball game in Taiwan’s history was played in 1906, during the Japanese colonial era.
就像在日本一樣,棒球也是臺灣的國球。死忠的粉絲極為關注國家隊在世界棒球經典賽中的成敗。臺灣的明星球員在美國職業棒球大聯盟登場時,全臺球迷都會打開電視收看。投手王建民在其生涯高峰待在紐約洋基隊時,受歡迎的程度甚至可以去參選總統。臺灣歷史上的第一場棒球比賽是在1906 年日本殖民時期所進行的。
