One thing that surprised me in the book on baseball in Asia (with the clever title Taking in a Game) is that China (well, the foreign concession in Shanghai) appears to have been the site of the earliest baseball games in Asia--in the 1870s--and that the game didn't really die out until the Cultural Revolution began in the 1960s. I think that's mentioned in an excerpt (scroll down). (Yes, I know the first comment wasn’t intended for this post, but …)

The Chinese are now claiming baseball? The other "player countries" had better band together and protect baseball's integrity! Okay, there are differences between Japanese baseball, on the one hand, and Korean and American baseball, on the other, but these are minor compared to the threat from China. This just isn't cricket.

Now China succeeded in erasing Korea's claim inside China and in some other countries. This will be a longstanding issue and in the short term China will slowly push other countries to accept that Korea does not have a claim while never directly pushing its claim. Once Korea's claim isn't recognized by a majority of the player countries expect China to press its own claim. Korea needs to be active in making sure other countries don't forget that Korea does have a claim. Wow the honor of a first post:)
