Lions fans have an easy rooting interest in the Korea Baseball Organization

The sports landscape is nearly barren these days. With social distancing the new normal, all American sports league schedules on an uneasy hiatus and not even youth sports to watch, folks are starved for legitimate sporting competition.

Enter the KBO.

The Korea Baseball Organization fired up its schedule this week, playing in empty ballparks in South Korea. Detroit Lions fans can quickly pick up which team they will root for in the KBO, too.

The Samsung Lions make for an easy rooting interest for desperate Detroit fans. Even the team colors are a familiar silver and blue, just like the Ford Field faithful. Based in Daegu, the team has been quite successful. These Lions won KBO league titles every year from 2011-2014.
