From Around the Web November

With the baseball season over in Korea there has still been a lot of news.  In case you missed some of the KBO playoffs, I've included a wrap-up article for each round.  Samsung failed to win their second Asia Series title, but had a couple big wins.  The KT Wiz unveiled their new uniforms, logos and what immediately became notorious mascots.  The KBO hot stove is also already over, with some big name players changing teams.  Hope this post catches you up on your Korean baseball news.

From Around the Web October 2013

With the end of the regular season, I've included a couple of articles about the KBO playoffs, which start on October 8.  There is also a problem with the site of the NC Dinos' new stadium.  I have noticed some interest in players potentially making the jump to MLB, so I included a couple articles on that topic too.  The last article is about European baseball's inclusion in the Asia Series tournament.
