Why was the Red Sox season opener played in Japan? -

Glad they won and all, but how come it was in Japan?

The MLB wants to market baseball to other countries.

i don t care that it was in Japan but why was it so early in the morning? maybe should MLB just care a little bit more for the fans more

yea i thought it was stupid too but the mlb wants more fans so they showed the japs one of there best teams

So that the Japenese players will be interested in playing in the United States and to market the MLB in other countries it will bring more money.

Japan is a rich country so the can afford it....also masuzaka is very popular there....and every palyer, and couch, and also umpires were going to get $40,000 for play 2 games there and an exhibition game too with a japannese team..... is all about the money

they are trying to extend american sports to other parts of the world. The Dolphins played the Giants last year in England. They will get more money if other countries are watching as well as americans

money, japenise chiks are hot, more money, so well get more jappenise players
