That's a good point, I never thought of buying merch from another league if they have a similar team. Like minor league teams that use the same logo. I mean if you really want to wear the logo.

I guess the leagues can't really work together? I looked up the difference between the league rules, and they are very minor. As opposed to, say, chess and shogi (Japanese chess). I don't think the differences would matter in most games, but they would have to decide which set they're going to follow, even if the differences only lie in the technicalities.

At least players can go from one to the other. I don't recall his name, the guy who plays for the Dodgers. I know, Giants fans call them something else, but I'm trying to be civil and I don't really hate the Dodgers. Especially since they have a Japanese guy playing for them. I think that's awesome.

One thing I wish for American sports is that musicians get involved more. I've heard of a couple songs (in Japanese) about their baseball teams. One I recall, the singer actually shot her music video in their stadium, it was a whole cross promotional thing. I wanna say it was LiSA (singer) and the Dragons (team) but I'm not sure. It probably does happen more, but I don't hear about it. (I'm also not a huge sports fan.)

During World Baseball Classic, they managed to get a few musicians to create music for the event. Becky G and Young Miko did songs. A few other artists. But it mostly supports your point that it was for an international audience and not an American audience.

I feel like a K-pop band could write lyrics about baseball with some cheeky innuendos in there.
