The 2008 China Baseball League season involves for the first time the champion of the league going to the Asia Series, instead of the all-star China Stars that were sent in previous years. For the first time in the history of the CBL, the season has been split into 2 sections. This is to accommodate the Beijing Olympics.[1] The first half runs from April 11 to May 11, and then the season will resume on September 5 and conclude on October 12.
