....only slightly tongue-in-cheek, but I really am going to start looking into it....

Baseball fields (especially NICE ones) are rare, rare, rare in Korea. There are less than 100 non-pro ballfields in the whole country, and teams have to crawl all over one another to get field time....and pay high fees as well.

The reason this has come to my attention is because I've spent the last 3 months trying unsuccessfully to get ONE field for ONE weekend, to host a Pacific Region baseball tournament for all the international schools in Asia. Nope. We were told by no means would we be allowed to use any of the fields in the country for something like this.

Now, in 2009, we went over to Beijing to play at the Score Baseball Farm complex. Absolutely gorgeous fields, and privately run. They get teams coming in there from all over the world to play, and they charge about $750 per field from 8am to 6pm, higher on weekends.

The same could be done in Korea. A private, immaculate baseball complex. It would be fully scheduled almost year round, because the Korean HS and college teams never stop practicing.

Land here can be purchased/leased by foreigners....

I'm no Donald Trump, but I know an opportunity when I see it.

How about the "Perfect Game / HSBBW International Baseball Complex"?

In the immortal words of Peter Frampton:

"Whose wine? What wine? Where the he-l-l did I dine?"

Now play that funky mouth-guitar harp thing. I think in the industry, it's just known as the FM-GHT.

The only problem with my plan, as I've envisioned it, is that it will be hard to create a great marketing promo poster showing old-time Korean baseball stars emerging from a rice paddy. Corn, obviously, is where it's at, but I don't think I've ever seen a cornstalk over here. Gotwood, can you please remind me of the e-mail contact for your cousin Gotseeds?
