    Japan - New York YankeesChina - Boston Red SoxKorea - San FranciscoInteresting that none of them are Seattle... considering Kenji and Ichiro play for Seattle and Seattle is, you know, the closest US City to them.

    I'm surprised that Korea is the Gaints. I would think the Cubs b/c of Hee Sop Choi

    Theres a few Korean players in MLB, the most famous probably being Chan Ho Park, Jae Seo, Byung-Hyun Kim and Hee-Seop Choi. None of which have played for the Giants though which is why this suprises me also. It does suprise me that both the Red Sox or the Giants are on there because they havent done as much on the international market as teams like the Yankees, Mariners, or Mets have. Maybe because the Red Sox are the rumored ones to win the Matsuzaka voting it swayed the votes some depending on when this poll was taken.
