The surge in baseball enthusiasm sparked by the World Baseball Classic (WBC) has propelled Taiwan’s professional baseball league (CPBL) into a historic “10,000 fans per game” milestone. For the second straight year, the league’s opening game at the Taipei Dome drew a full house of 40,000 spectators, underscoring a golden age for Taiwanese baseball. This momentum, fueled by the WBC’s global spotlight, has set the stage for the CPBL’s 37th season, where the league aims to sustain record attendance, elevate competitive standards, and expand its international footprint. With average game attendance surpassing 10,000, Taiwanese baseball is witnessing unprecedented growth, signaling a bright future for the sport on the island.
