MLB fans in Taiwan are in luck, now they have the opportunity to see MLB stars playing in Taiwan without flying half way across the world. Jim Small, the Vice President of MLB Asia was in Taiwan last week and had a meeting with with 馮勝賢 (Feng Sheng-Xian) the secretary general of CPBL to discuss the plan of having MLB All-Star Taiwan tour in November 2017.
The MLB All-Star team will be heading to South Korea first, then to Taiwan for a 3 exhibition games against CPBL. At the moment the games are planned to be held in Kaohsiung, Taichung and Taoyuan stadium.
2011 MLB All-Star Taiwan Tour
2011 MLB All-Star team was led by skipper Bruce Bochy with Robinson Cano, Pablo Sandoval & Curtis Granderson in the roster. The MLB All-Star team played 5 exhibition games against the Taiwanese squad that was made up by university players and Taiwanese players from the MLB/ NPB system.
Why no CPBL players in 2011?
Due to scheduling conflicts and unable to agree on the terms with the event organiser. CPBL did not participate in the 2011 MLB All-Star Taiwan exhibition games. However, it’s worth noting that 24 out of 33 players from that 2011 Taiwanese team are now playing for the CPBL.
