SEOUL -- Major League Baseball's tour through Thursday in Seoul is expected to produce a financial boon locally thanks largely to the appearance of Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani.
The Seoul Series likely will yield an economic impact topping 200 billion won ($150 million), South Korea's Maeil Business Newspaper estimates. The games also represent Ohtani's debut with the storied Los Angeles Dodgers franchise after six seasons with the Los Angeles Angels.
