The Samsung Lions are one of the six founding teams of the KBO League. The team was established in 1982 as the Korean professional baseball craze was taking off. Its ballpark is Daegu Samsung Lions Park. It is an American-style ballpark with an approximately octagonal shape, which is based on Citizens Bank Park, the home of the Philadelphia Phillies. It was designed to maximize the field of vision of fans, and there are also berm seats for spectators to watch the game while picnicking. For many baseball fans, it’s the ideal stadium. The Samsung Lions have played in Taiwan numerous times over the years in international competitions, and have also taken part in exchanges with Chinese Professional Baseball League teams to learn from each other. The flair of Korean cheerleaders to rally crowds has also captivated Taiwanese fans.
