Chiayi-Tainan Luka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chiayi-Tainan Luka (嘉南勇士) was a defunct Taiwanese professional baseball team from 1997 to 2002, belonging to the Taiwan Major League(TML). It took Chiayi(at Chiayi County Baseball Stadium, not Chiayi Baseball Field) and Tainan(at Tainan Baseball Field) as its home. Except for winning championship in TML's first season in 1997, this team did not perform too well throughout its history and it only ever attracted corporate sponsors in 2000 and 2001. As a result, this team used its home cities's names as its name for most of its lifespan, rather than a company's name. After TML merged with the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) in 2003, this team merged with Taichung Agan and exchanged its name with Taipei Gida (later became Macoto Gida), which was further changed to Macoto Cobras since 2004.
