Taiwan Aloha will host a Taiwan Community Day at PNC Park on September 3, as the Pittsburgh Pirates take on the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. This coinicides with other Asian and Asian-American events scheduled at the game, particularly because the Dodgers feature three Japanese baseball stars: Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Roki Sasaki. This Taiwan Community Day will honor the Sophiyah Liu, Taiwan's first female baseball umpire, who will throw out the first pitch, while ticket sales of 500 or more through the event link will ensure future Taiwan Community Days at the ballpark.
Taiwan Aloha is proud to partner with the Pittsburgh Pirates to host AAPI/Taiwan Day at PNC Park!
We are honored to feature Sophiyah Liu, Taiwan’s first female baseball umpire, as our ceremonial first pitch guest. Sophiyah’s groundbreaking role in Taiwan reflects the Pittsburgh Pirates’ leadership as the first MLB team to build a dedicated umpire room for women, making this a meaningful connection between Taiwan and the U.S.
This year marks a special AAPI/Taiwan Day, but if we reach 500 ticket sales through the link below, the Pirates will host a dedicated Taiwan Day every year going forward!
The first 500 ticket buyers will receive a Taiwan No. 1 jersey (sponsored by Taiwan Aloha), a Pirates baseball cap, and a Taiwan-themed souvenir at the game.
A portion of ticket proceeds will support Taiwan Aloha, helping to offset the cost of jerseys and guest arrangements.
Your support helps celebrate Taiwan, uplift women in sports, and promote global friendship through baseball.
