On the afternoon of the 7th, Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. The empty stadium came alive unusually before the game began. Doosan Bears catcher Kim Gi-yeon’s strong shouting echoed powerfully enough to remind one of high school baseball training.
Ahead of the game against Lotte, Kim Gi-yeon quietly focused on his catching drills.
A player heading to the clubhouse after completing outfield training stopped in his tracks. It was the KBO's oldest active pitcher, Ko Hyo-jun.
He paused in front of the refrigerator for a moment, quietly took out a drink, and handed it to Kim Gi-yeon.
Although it took place without any special words, the scene reflected the senior's awareness of the junior's sincerity, efforts for the team, and encouragement for the sweat they have put in.
Under the interim management of Coach Jo Sung-hwan, Doosan is currently elevating its momentum. On this day, they aim to extend their winning streak to three games.
