It was Taiwan Culture Night at Oracle Park on Sept. 3 as the San Francisco Giants hosted the Arizona Diamondbacks, and more than a thousand Taiwanese showed up to support the Giants, wave national flags, and see a tech superstar throw out the first pitch.

The event was co-hosted by the Taiwan Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in San Francisco, EVA Air, and the San Francisco Giants.
