Major League Baseball has already branched out to Japan with a series of regular season games - this year's games pit the Red Sox against the A's. And now Bud Selig is ready to bring the game to China.
The San Diego Padres and LA Dodgers will be playing a 2 game exhibition series at Wukesong Field, the site of this year's summer Olympics. Joe Torre and Dave Winfield made the trip to Beijing to join U.N. ambassador to China, Clark Randt, and Chinese baseball official Meng Wei in making the announcement.
Both teams promised to field top notch players for the series, and players' union COO Gene Orza said his membership was excited about the series.
