baseball fans in Taiwan

How passionate are baseball fans in Taiwan?
Please press PLAY button in the toolbar. You will see a short movie about baseball fans in Taiwan.


Baseball fans chanted and beat the cheering sticks together. The power was very strong. One of the staff in the fans club shouted "Chang Tai-Shan"(張泰山) and fans shouted "chuan lei ta"(全壘打). "Chang Tai-Shan" is a name and he is a slugger. "chuan lei ta" means homerun.
The cheering sticks they beat are actually megaphones. But fans always let them become "noise maker". A pair of cheering sticks cost 50 NT dollars (approximate 1.5 US Dollar). Everyone beat cheering sticks and shouted loudly. That is shocking to match. The staff designed different chant and routine for every player. It is funny to be a baseball fan in Taiwan.
