The "laundry war" among baseball teams at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games seems to be ending, as each national team has found its own solution, according to the China Times. The Chinese Taipei Baseball Association has secured an external laundry service, enabling the Taiwanese baseball team to have its uniforms cleaned at its own expense.
