In Korea
Baseball fans in Korea are just as loud as the fans in Japan! In Korea, many fans use thundersticks to cheer their team on. Thundersticks are long plastic tubes that are sold in pairs. A fan hits the two thundersticks together to make a loud noise, encouraging their favorite players (or distracting the team they don't like). Cheerleaders are also a big part of baseball geams in Korea. They lead the fans in songs, chants, and dances. When a player does well, the cheerleaders and the fans celebrate by doing a special dance created just for that player.
