Then, in 1998, the Dodgers became the first Major League Team to open office in Asia. The Los Angeles Dodgers also made history when the team send out three Asian pitchers, from different Asian countries, in one game: Park, Hong-Chih Kuo of Taiwan, and Takashi Saito of Japan.
In the 2008 season, the Dodgers had the most Asian players on its roster of any major league team with five. They included Japanese pitchers Takashi Saito and Hiroki Kuroda.
