My son's HS team (an American school in Korea) traveled to another city to play another American team.....arrived to find the mound was 65 feet eight inches from home plate.
Now, keep in mind that we expats refer to Korea as "The Land of the Not-Quite-Right", and this is a perfct example. Complaints from both teams prior to the game were shrugged off by the umpires...."What do you expect us to do about it?" was the reply. I guess he had a point. It's hard to move a big pile of dirt.
Just hurry and let us get back HOME for summer ball. Thank you!!
