Fairchild's Wife Hanna Meets Oga, Declares: 'I Love Oga'

Taiwanese-American baseball star Stuart Fairchild, known as "Fei Zai," had a strong performance representing Taiwan in the World Baseball Classic (WBC). His wife, Hanna Fairchild, constantly carried merchandise of the CPBL mascot "Oga," which led to "Oga" becoming incredibly popular.

CPBL President Tsai Chi-chang chuckled, saying that "Oga" had actually been launched for some time, but due to Hanna's exposure, "Oga"'s fan base exploded, and it had probably never been so popular. Fairchild had revealed upon his arrival that all the "Oga" merchandise prepared by the CPBL had been taken by his wife, Hanna, who truly loved "Oga."

Hanna's meet-and-greet with "Oga" today included a test of their chemistry. "Oga" also presented Hanna with an "Oga" doll wearing Fairchild's No. 17 jersey, which Hanna adored. She happily played with the doll and occasionally touched the "Oga" standing beside her, directly declaring at the press conference: "I Love Oga."

At today's event, not only was bubble tea served, but also four representative Taiwanese snacks: Din Tai Fung's xiaolongbao, stadium tempura, Taichung's famous butter shortbread, and crispy doughnuts. After tasting them, Hanna said that because she wanted savory food at the moment, she liked the tempura the most. She had loved eating xiaolongbao in the United States and would have no problem eating it every day.

Regarding bubble tea, Hanna mentioned that Fairchild had recommended it to her before, and since then, bubble tea has been her favorite drink.

The CPBL also announced that a limited edition of 6,000 "Oga" dolls wearing Fairchild's No. 17 jersey will be sold starting at 12 PM tomorrow, with a total of four designs. (Editor: Chang Ya-ching) 1150407
