Fans who shouted “29 years of regret” when the LG team won the regular season trophy shouted again with anticipation when captain Oh Ji-hwan promised, “We will win four games to achieve an integrated championship and cry beautifully.”
LG, the No. 1 player in the 2023 Korean professional baseball KBO League regular season, also won 5-2 in the final game of the pennant race against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Home in Seoul on the 15th, presenting fans with their 86th victory of the season (56 losses, 2 draws).
After the game, an unforgettable event was also held for LG fans. 안전놀이터
LG confirmed its regular season victory on the 3rd, but KBO saw the 15th, when LG will play its last regular season game at home, as the “time for the trophy ceremony.”
On this day, 23,750 spectators filled Jamsil Baseball Stadium. Most of them were LG fans.
Even after Doosan fans left after the game, Jamsil Baseball Stadium was full of fans with yellow towels.
KBO President Heo Gu-yeon delivered the trophy to the LG team after congratulating LG on its regular season victory.
CEO Kim In-seok, general manager Cha Myung-seok, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop and captain Oh Ji-hwan held the trophy together and held a ceremony, and other players later took commemorative photos against the backdrop of the regular season trophy.
The LG team then looked at the fans and unfurled a banner that read, “I will run to the end as one with the fans toward the top.”
