Your mission: Fill these bleachers
Play ball! On Tuesday the China Baseball League released the official schedule for this year's games. The Shanghai Eagles, cheered on by their newly named mascot Tianyi the Eagle will play 9 home games this year, all in the first pre-Olympic half of the season. The home opener is April 18 against the Guangdong Leopards at Pudong's Kangbei Baseball and Softball Stadium. With the opening of the new metro lines making the trip out to the stadium is easier than ever: simply take Line 6 to the West Gaoke Rd station and walk west one block to the sports complex that hosts the Eagles' games. Bring some snacks, your glove and be ready to cheer the home team!
Kangbei Baseball and Softball Stadium (康贝棒垒球场) is located at 20l Yunlian Rd in Pudong (上海市浦东新区云莲路20l号). The nearest subway stop is West Gaoke Rd on Line 6
All of the Eagle's home games are listed on Upcoming.org and will appear in Shanghaiist's event sidebar.

Interview: Gil Kim, US player in the China Baseball League


Thanks for running this. I am leaving for Shanghai soon and as a huge baseball fan (Go Cubs!) I am going to do everything I can to make it out to a game.
Figures, the Guangdong team is in Guangzhou. I'm not a big baseball fan, but I wouldn't mind seeing a sport other than soccer, basketball, or cricket.
