Hallelujah! It seems that we may be able to watch baseball as early as Tuesday ... well, not Major League Baseball, but Korean Baseball Organization games.

ESPN has finalized a deal to broadcast KBO games six days a week, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Hey guys. ESPN is going to have live baseball six days a week. Live. Baseball. Almost. Every. Day.

First pitch of the Korean Baseball Organization season is at 1a ET, less than 14 hours from now, and we’ll be calling the game between the NC Dinos and Samsung Lions.

While there are currently no North American sports leagues in action due to the coronavirus pandemic, this is going to be a breath of fresh air for fans who have been craving sports over the last month and a half.

Here is the list of teams in the league:

Doosan Bears: Six titles
Kiwoom Heroes: Zero titles
SK Wyverns: Four titles
LG Twins: Two titles.
NC Dinos: Zero titles.
kt wiz: Zero titles
KIA Tigers: 11 titles
Samsung Lions: eight titles
Hanwha Eagles: One title
Lotte Giants: Two titles

Obviously a majority of people would prefer MLB over KBO, but this is a start, and it gives fans something to look forward to six nights a week.

When it comes down to it, all you have to do is pick a favorite team and root for that team, right? While the KIA Tigers and Samsung Lions are easily the most talented and have the most titles, there are plenty of teams to choose from.
