KBO to Review Tenth Team Issue

July 12, 2012

The Korea Baseball Organization’s boad of directors will review information about the establishment of a 10th team.

The governing body decided on June 19 to postpone the discussion.

The decision to reconsider is reportedly because of increasing pressure of fans and players.

The Korea Professional Baseball Players Association had announced that its players would boycott the All-Star Game and World Baseball Classic.

KBO Secretary General Yang Hae-young said: “The club heads agreed that it is not appropriate to show fans a negative image, and that we must continue to hold the All-Star Games.” {jcomments on}
